Using a computer model to estimate future productivity, the accuracy of such an estimate is higher than that achieved using more subjective methods.

A. Using a computer model to estimate future productivity
B. By the use of a computer model to estimate future productivity
C. If a computer model is used to estimate future productivity

E. Estimating future productivity with a computer model

I am confused with the rules.. I am unable to apply the right ones at the right place.
Please help me with a good source which has various application of rules clearly explained.
