indicate that turbulent times lie ahead for those who have invested only in NASDAQ stocks.
indicate that turbulent times should lie ahead for those who have invested only in NASDAQ stocks.
indicate that turbulent times are laying ahead for those who have invested only in NASDAQ stocks.
indicates that turbulent times lie ahead for those who have invested only in NASDAQ stocks.
indicates that turbulent times are laying ahead for those who have invested only in NASDAQ stocks.
information is singular. Hence singular verb 'indicates' is required.
ABC out.

E unnecessarily changes the tense to present continuous tense. - are laying.

Intended meaning is in simple present - lie ahead

pick D.

Hope this helps!!

Agree. indicates should be used in singular form to modify 'the information'.

Hence D.
