Actually are is correct because how X and how Y form a compound subject and are is correct. IMO, its E because the option D makes it a certainty by using are and can be is an uncertainity

Thanks

I am not good in SC,  but i think E, as is it parallel and something to do with fact so simple present tense is the best.
