The soap manufacturer conceded that its product may have contributed to the recent outbreak of skin irritation experienced by its consumers and having pulled the product, led to a sharp drop in the company’s share price.

A)having pulled the product, led to

B)pulled the product, leading to

C)pulling the product, leading to

D)pulled the product, led to

E)pulled the product, having led to

OA:B

Can we discuss this. how to eliminate wrong options. how to approach, etc.

Thanks

IMO B
to maintain parallelism, pulled should be used
A,C eliminated
e) having led to is incorrect
led to a sharp drop, cause-effect (product was pulled and thus share price dropped)
So
If my post helped you- let me know by pushing the thanks button ;)

The soap manufacturer conceded that its product may have contributed to the recent outbreak of skin irritation experienced by its consumers and having pulled the product, led to a sharp drop in the company’s share price.

A)having pulled the product, led to -------> changes the intended meaning as can mean "soap manufacturer pulled the product"

B)pulled the product, leading to -------> leading modifies the complete part before comma "The soap manufacturer conceded that its product may have contributed to the recent outbreak of skin irritation experienced by its consumers and pulled the product"

C)pulling the product,leading to ------> pulling not parallel with initial part of the sentence

D)pulled the product, led to

E)pulled the product, having led to
