The main difference between B and D is the use of two seemingly interchangeable modal auxiliaries 'may' and 'might'. However, there is a faint difference.
When something is certainly a thing of the worldly reality, something that is not hypothetical or impossible, we may use 'May'.
Example: It may rain shortly because this is monsoon time and dark clouds are gathering. Here the possibility of rains is more or less certain, and is more appropriate to use 'may'.
However, one can't be so sure in summer months and may rather use the less certain' 'might'. Therefore, when we are not that certain about the outcome, or when we speculate or feel jerky that the outcome is more a gut feeling, then we use 'might
