Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.
(A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead- incorrect usage of when
(B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads- incorrect usage of when
(C) when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead- incorrect antecedent "they"
(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads - incorrect because original sentence contains "possibly"
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead - Correctly conveys the meaning and is gramatically correct too

Hello SJ1295,
Thank you for the PM.
I apologizing for the late reply.
Yes, "Rising inventories" is a noun phrase in which "Rising" is the adjective because it describes what kind of inventories the sentence is talking about. It talks about inventories that continue to increase. The main noun in this phrase is "inventories" which is a plural noun. Hence, this noun phrase is plural.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

1. I do not quite understand what does corresponding describe- in all options?
According to me, it describes increase (which I dont think is a non though I don't know what kind of word is it- maybe verb?). If it describes increase by this logic, corresponding is incorrect and it should be an adverb not an adjective. Also 'sales' according to be is the noun which is in prep phrase so can an adjective refer to a noun in a prep phrase?
2. Grammatically, how is unaccompanied correspondingly incorrect, and correspondingly increased sales - only tell me gramatically irrespective of the rest of the sentence
3. Another thing I'm a little doubtful of is whether we should make decisions in GMAT basis use of 'unaccompanied' or 'not accompanied'. What if the sentence with 'not accompanied' had some other issue instead of the sentence with 'unaccompanied' so we would have to go with 'unaccompanied' sentence right?
