(A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves
(B) fund, the intention of which is to sustain the state’s economy after they have exhausted their oil reserves
(C) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
(D) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting its oil reserves
(E) fund that they intend to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted

Guys do you think D is wrong because its has no clear antecedent?

Its in D refers to economy

However, I do feel meaning takes a change in D

D looks as if Alaska intends to first exhaust and then use the funds, while meaning is that Alaska is trying to be more proactive that in case by any chance the reserves are exhausted , it can face such problems

If I am too much in sleep, pls wake me up
