For those still not convinced by why D is wrong.
A lot of folks here have said that D is wrong because WHO refers to fed reserve. this reason is WRONG because WHO can STILL refer to policy makers.
Consider the following:
1. He said that he knows policy makers, who are nice, are good at small talk.
2. He said that he knows policy makers at the fed reserve, who are nice, are good at small talk.
both are correct because in #2 "at the fed reserve" is modifying policy makers. WHO can jump the modifier and refer to policy makers. Look at: https://gmatclub.com/forum/noun-modifier ... 35868.html for more info. this shows that noun modifiers can be far away when there is ANOTHER modifier in the middle.
The real reasons why D is wrong:
1. the presence of will be leads to an awkward sentence. "experts believe that policy makers will be almost certain to...." this will be.. to.. leads to an awkward sentence. Also, there is no indication in the sentence that experts believe that policy makers will do something in the future.
2. wrong idiom is used "view x TO BE Y." correct idiom is view x AS Y.
egmat please confirm my understanding.

This question popped up on our Ask Me Anything About SC thread, and I figured that I'd repost it here, just in case it helps somebody:
Here "Tim" is a noun functioning as the subject of a clause. Because this noun is followed by a comma and an "-ing" modifier, the "-ing" modifier most logically describes the noun, in this case, the athletically-challenged Tim.
We have an almost identical construction in (A). "The Federal Reserve" is a noun phrase. "Now viewing" describes the Federal Reserve. That's perfectly fine.
I hope that helps!

Important distinction: when an "-ing" word follows a clause with a comma, it modifies the previous clause. But if it follows a noun with a comma, it often modifies the noun phrase. For example:
- The coach believed that Tim, lacking a jump shot and any desire to pass or play defense, was unlikely to be drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, who already had Russell Westbrook on their roster.
