Answer A is ambiguous, the meaning of the clause " there are few signs of increasing energy prices driving up the cost of other goods so far" is vague.
Answer B unnecessarily uses the word "still" and thus is redundant.
Answer C uses an incorrect phrase "remain concerned FOR"
Answer D is also redundant (the use of "still")
Answer E is correct.
