I narrowed down the answer choices to A and C since both are idiomatically correct. Imo, C is incorrect because it says "would" and that changes the meaning of the sentence. Being able to predict the interest rate could (potentially) and not would (definitely) allow us to make solid investments and reap enormous profits.
