IMO C
a: "seem like it is indicative that the economy" is awkard.
b: that is required after indicate. Also "as if" is redundant
d: "indicative of" seems to indicate the economy and not its "nearing a recession".
e: same as d

No, I don't think you can do that... E is thrown out because if that were the answer, the original stem would no longer be a full sentence.
