E) As other performance indicators are, the growth rate of a start-up business is generally related to the amount of time and number of

I will go with B.

I struggled between A and B. I rewrote the sentence this way...

I would go with E too.

the amout of resources is just wrong. It has to be number of resources!

That leaves us answer choise C and E.

Like other...ARE is wrong, it has to be AS....are!

That leaves us E.
