IMO because fearing is acting as a verb....in A...we need nouns to parallel the things....

We need parallelism in this sentence..

the first two are nouns(sudden downturns and hedging).. and so we need nouns in the underlined portion too..

quickly the 3:2 conversion gives us, c,d and e.

c] use of fearing is incorrect.. we need a noun.. here it acts as a verb

d] fear of the still undercapitalized company. construction is awkward and alters the meaning.. stating that the company is underutilized.. when "it may be underutilized"

e] perfect.
