The true danger in the central bank's efforts to stimulate the economy is not that its actions will result in inflation - of which there is little evidence - but that it will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure, straining investor confidence and, in the process, the financial markets.

E??

Explanation:

'IT will fail' incorrectly refers to 'efforts'. THEY is correct

Hence, A, B and D are wrong.

A and C lack parallel construction:
that they will fail TO REVIVE the economy ......... and (TO) STRAIN.........

Please comment, If something is wrong.

result in inflation - of which there is little evidence - but that it will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure and strain investor confidence, and in the process the financial markets The straining of the investor confidence and the straining of the financial markets is the effect of the efforts. But here we have that the FM would be strained as a result of the strained investor confidence and the bad efforts

result in inflation - of which there is little evidence - but that they will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure, straining investor confidence and, in the process, the financial markets

have the result of inflation - of which there is little evidence - but also that it will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure and strain investor confidence and, in the process, the financial markets

result in inflation - of which there is little evidence - but that they will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure and strain investor confidence, which will in the process strain the financial markets

Hence IMO A

It has to be A. As the usage of 'they' in C lacks an antecedent.'It' in the whole sentence refers to the central bank which is correct

Therefore my pick A.

Whats the OA ?

Central bank is in possesive case. So its pronoun should also be in possesive case.
I think IT does not refer to Central bank.

only plural noun is efforts.
Please comment.

What is OA?

What does the first "its" refer to?
Also if we are using "its" why does the correct answer require "they" not "it".

OA: The true danger in the central bank's efforts to stimulate the economy is not that its actions will result in inflation but that they will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure, straining investor confidence and, in the process, the financial markets.

its = bank's.
they = actions.

Conveyed meaning:
The true danger in the central bank's efforts to stimulate the economy is not that the bank's actions will result in inflation but that its actions will fail to revive the economy by any substantial measure, straining investor confidence and, in the process, the financial markets.
