B) it is probable that the soundness of their belief would be significant
C) believing their soundness is probably not significant

A - wordier; IT IS PROBABLE (could be expressed better by just using PROBABLY); IT and ITS refer to differenet things (IT is a placeholder; ITS refer to management)

B/D - THEIR refer to management (singular);

C - who is BELIEVING THEIR SOUNDNESS (unclear); NOT changes the meaning

IMO E
