IMO (D). The decision to be made is between choices (A) and (D) only.

A. Hold
B. PR error
C. Awkward construction and actually IMO it is even not a complete sentence.
D. Hold
E. PR error

Between (A) and (D), (D) is idiomatic, hence choose (D).

I will go with D. The problem with A is that it appears to have a modifier "In assessing...." modifying question.
