48. According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.

(A) its merits, the proposal to tax
(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing
(C) its merits as a proposal, taxing
(D) the proposal’s merits, to tax
(E) the proposal’s merits are, taxing

Confused between A and E. I thought A is wrong since 'its' is ambiguous. Please clarify.

Option A.
This is the correct answer, 'whatever it merits,' this is a standing clause on its own and the next clause compliments it in relation to the expression of the sentence.

Option B.
'it merits may be' this is too wordy and comprises excess words.

Option C.
'to tax away' will be definitely considered over 'taxing away'.Thus, this is a wrong answer.

Option D.
awkward construction.This option is incorrect.

Option E.
'are'? not necessary needed in this type of sentence
