C
rejected B because "speed the attrition process " is wrong. It should be speed up the attrition process
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!

My choice is B and so is the OA.

I rejected C the first time i saw it. Had to double check because so many people replied with C :)

why not C?

which will be speeded up ---- does not it change the meaning? .... the agreement expected to ....'will be' means definitely...
