(B) increased wages it expected to approve from negotiations - Changes meaning - as per the original sentence , the city expected to approve, and thus needed to cover, an increase in wages. in particular, you should not shift the meaning to say that they needed to cover the wages themselves.
(C) increasing wages expected to be approved as a result of negotiating - changes the meaning
(D) negotiated increases in wages it expected to approve - Changes meaning to convey the negotiations have already been done
(E) increases expected to be approved in wages from negotiating - In the original sentence, the city expected to approve wage negotiations; approved in wages is awkward
