there is no much difference between the usage of should and if..

C fails because of " to sharply rise"

karthik i have read for subjunctive

PARTICULAR CASE(future)---if PRESENT,then future..no uncertainity
as in this case..moreover Then can be dropped from the sentence


may be to sharply rise..is causing error split infinitive thats y.

is it true??

A should be the answer. In C ..sharply is an adjective that should not modify a verb 'rise'.
