be a problem that grows.

C: Fragment sentence: Same
D: Same as A, only further down the road + Wordy, awkward inversions

Seems to me that has been & will continue is redundant. Source?
I have come across this sentence somwhere donno source exactly
Flooding
has been and it will continue to be a problem that grows as more and more pavement is put
down, concentrating runoff.
In that it was mentioned that
has been and it will continue this is redundant so can be replaced with
will continue.
Anyways flooding still continues. so
has been and it will continue is redundant.
Will post if i find this source....
