Eliminate D and E, should read agree that...

B can be eliminated from unlikely for the index continuing up.

A is out because it implies that you are talking about inflation in the past when the analysts are talking about the forecast for the future.

C however uses with as a conjunction and the verb form to remain is not correct.
