The ans is definitely "C" here .

I have doubts about OA as "B" here !!

The sub. is singular here. If it is not, then how in the later portion of this sentence, the modifier is singular ?? (i.e.. "IT").

btw, what is the source of this q ?

Usage of "One"
In sentences that contain the phrase one of.....

1. In simple form one of or one of the, a singular verb is used.

e.g - One of the books is missing from my cupboard.

2. In sentences that contain phrases one of those who or one of the things that, a plural verb is used.

e.g - He is one of our employees who are always alert.

3. When only precedes one of /one of those, a singular verb is used. (Do not mix this rule with the 2nd rule stated above)

Answer: C

Even if you dint know the 3rd rule the it in "as it did earlier in the decade " should lead u to answer C.

Thanks for the tips. My confusion is in the subject itself. Shouldn't the subject be "Interest rates," not "one of the factors"?

B is the correct answer

Consider the following construction

one of the glasses is dirty.

One of the glasses that/,which are placed on table, is dirty.

whenever the we introduce a restrictive or non restrictive clause in "one of the plural-noun" we need a plural verb for such construction
