A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead

B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads

C) when they were accompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead

D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads

E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead

Doubt : Can option [spoiler]D & E[/spoiler] be eliminated because always required a linking verb before NOT. So this can be a reason to eliminate both options OR IF is incorrect in both options, if so then please explain.

Thanks,
