IMO:
There is 3:2 split between 'to be' and 'as'.
'View X to be Y' is unidiomatic. The correct form is 'view X as Y'. This helps you in eliminating B, D and E.
Choice A and C uses the correct form of the idiom. Problem with C is the word WHO before the comma. The sentence with choice C reads ->
Many financial experts believe that policy makers at the Federal Reserve who ... are almost certain to leave interest rates unchanged for the foreseeable future.
You can't say, 'My dad WHO is a government officer.' This sentence is fragmented.
You say, 'My dad is a government officer'.
Notice the problem with C. The word WHO leaves the sentence open for questions. Policy experts who blah blah blah...? Who what? This helps you in eliminating C.
Choice D has a major flaw. The use of 'THAT OF'. There is nothing in the sentence that 'THAT OF' is referring to.
Therefore, A.
Thanks.
