I will go with C.. We cant equate a loosening of interest rates to a fear. What do you guys think?

in gmat SC the key is that the sentence should be simple and clear and short, A fulfil all the necessary requirements

E is ruled out as “loosening” and “fear” are not in same form, I will go with A

Shouldn’t it be D?

E sounds better.
Sudden downturn , hedging are anyways not parallel…. so Loosening and fear need not be in same form.

fear sounds parallel to the downturn… not confident..
Take the Gmat.. Answer please
