imo A
Estimates of a bountiful harvest have kept prices for corn futures low, but recent bad weather and pestilence have stunted corn growth, indicating to traders in the futures exchange that the price of corn will rise in the coming months.
Meaning :
Estimates have kept prices for corn futures low.
However , recent bad weather and pestilence have stunted growth .
The above action has an effect that is.
It indicates to traders in the future exchange that the price of corn I will rise in the coming months .
The use of ', indicating' correctly convey cause and effect of the previous action of the same subject. Use of the ,verb ING is correct here .
Analysis :
All the subject verb pairs agrees in number . Use of of ,verb is also correct as discussed above . Present perfect tense is also correct with respect to the context of the sentence .
I think overall the sentence is correct as it is .
With this understanding let's go to POE .
A. indicating to traders in the futures exchange that the price of corn will rise in the coming months
-- Correct
B. indicating to traders in the futures exchange
- Meaning change -- with the use of is rising .
Also absence of that make the sentence structurally in correct .
C. which indicates that to traders in the coming months the price of corn would be raised by the futures exchange
-- , Which is used here as an non essential modifier .
Use of a non essential modifier to show the effect is considered incorrect .
Also , Which generally refers to the previous noun. Hence in this case pet refers to corn growth . But corn growth indicates something --- seems illogical .
D. with the indication to traders in the coming months that the price of corn would be raised by the futures exchange
-- Use of prepositional phrase -- with distorts the original meaning of choice .
E. with the indication to traders of corn prices being raised in the coming months by the futures exchange
-- Use of prepositional phrase -- with distorts the original meaning of choice .
- Use of being is incorrect .
A is the best choice

A. indicating to traders in the futures exchange that the price of corn will rise in the coming months -- CORRECT usage of participial modifier and future tense for upcoming months
B. indicating to traders in the futures exchange the price of corn in the coming months is rising -- Present progressive (in the purview of GMAT) is mentioned ONLY for events happening right now
C. which indicates that to traders in the coming months the price of corn would be raised by the futures exchange -- "stunted corn growth" directly doesn't indicate anything; the overall clause does.Also "would be raised" is not correct without another simple past indicator
D. with the indication to traders in the coming months that the price of corn would be raised by the futures exchange -- "in the coming months" is modifying traders instead of "rise in price"
E. with the indication to traders of corn prices being raised in the coming months by the futures exchange -- wrong usage of being
