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.

(A) 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

(B) 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

(C) 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

(D) 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

(E) 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

In considering this option we have to narrow it down to what the examiner tests for here.

It or they

The preceding noun is evidence which is an uncountable noun that attracts a plural pronoun or verb as the case may be.

Option A :- Incorrect
This option uses 'it's to describe the efforts made this is totally wrong the use of it's is inconsequential.

Option B :- Incorrect
This suffers the same fate as A above. 'it' is a right pronoun to use here.

Option C :- correct
The use of the plural now 'they' helps to establish the plural effects of evidence -which is an uncountable noun that attracts plurals (either verb or pronoun).
In line with this, the actual meaning of the sentence at the tail end is not altered and it is in line with the head meaning.

Option D :- Incorrect
Same applies for this 'it' here as no antecedent and does not follow parallelism.

Option E :- Incorrect
This option looks similar to option C above because it also contains 'they' which makes look like a possible answer.
However, the ending statement contracts the heading, thereby distorting the real meaning of the sentence. Which will in the process strain the financial markets illogical construction and wrong grammar.
