A panel from WHO concludes that malnutrition is the most serious health problem facing the third world countries, but it could or will be eradicated with the assistance of developed countries.

a but it could or will

b but they could or will

c but that it would be or could

d but that it can and will

e but it would and should

OA: Spoiler Code C

(C)

"that, that" formation is required. "could be or would be" is correct

think d retains the meaning of the original sentence

D implies that the eradication is a foregone conclusion due to use of simple future tense - "it will...".

Original sentence is formed as a conditional - if developed countries fund the program, only then will the problem be eradicated. As such, use of "could, and would..." is proper.

So, what is the OA? Is C the OA because "would be" & "could be" should be in parallel. I thought the original sentence looked just fine. But, I am telling myself based on the reasonings thus far that it is parallism that is the error.

Please help confirm my understanding
