Answer
A
of the company
B
overseeing the department
C
to better augment
D
existing sales force

“Augment” means to increase or add to, so “augment the existing sales force” already expresses the idea of increasing it. The phrase “to better augment” is awkward because “better” does not clarify how the force is being increased. Choice C is “to better augment.”
