The correct answer is B.
You need to be consistent with regard to pronouns used in the whole sentence. Since "you" appears in the non-underlined part of the sentence, it is necessary to use it also in the underlined part. Therefore, all answers which include "one" are incorrect.
In answer E "one" is not used but this answer is much less concise than B.
