threats from asteroids, a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood
that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.
A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or
comet may
B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid
or comet to
C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet
will be to
D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid
or comet will

comet that may
Please help.

Liklihood and may ... redundant.. E is out
C looks more happy for me.
A scale can't respond to public's fascination so A/B are out.

I think 'will do sth' represent sth happen in the future, so do 'be to do sth' (such as: I am to take the GMAT = I am going to take the GMAT). So we can't use 'will be to do sth', it'llmake this clause redundant.
Am I right ?
