IMO E.. the best choice to my opinion..

hey guys, hold on.. i have a doubt here as i have in every other post that has been posted here :x

suggests that is inviting subjunctive mood into the sentence right?? in that case is the usage of will in E correct?

E

'The rise' is the subject here not indicators. The prepositional phrase will not contain the subject of the sentence
