lucbesson,
B is wrong because of the mixing tenses..
If you trace the verb tense of the highlighted words/phrase, it is past -> present continuous -> past - which is not good for GMAT. Also the B option doesn't show the casual relationship clearly as is shown in C
This question scares me since I thought A is right since they will match to it's closest precedent stores.. Also in OG questions pronoun ambiguity is the last and sometimes OK.
Hope this helps.

B. It is closing up to one-forth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales.
