= C

Subject verb agreement
and in E although clause is incorrectly connected to the prepositional phrase. rephrase the sentence take although clause 1st and then second part of the clause you will find option D doesn't make sense

C. Flow pattern should be described by singular verb is and not by are. Subject-Verb case.
