"have been" construct implies task started in past and is still continuing.
or present perfect continuous, it needs the verb+ing to show the continuation

Is it clear now?

"expect to" is the correct idiomatic usage.
Thus D & E are eliminated.
A & B does not properly compare the clause "to set dividends" that is requested to the automakers.
