Hi all,

Below is a SC Question

Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.
(A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead
(B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads
(C) when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead
(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead

Though this question was discussed earlier several times i have a question reg applying if..then rule

This is what i had i mind

Simple Present tense --- "will" +verb
Simple Past tense --- "would/could"+ verb
Future Tense --- "would/could+ have" + Past Participle

I was expecting "will" in the correct answer (E)

Could you please clarify how "can" fits into this strategy

Thanks
