Ya this is a choice b/w A and D.

I think A is the answer as D changes the meaning by making an uncertain event(likely to...) as certain(will...)

you are correct, but my question is, how do you know whether the event is meant to be understood as certain or likely? i guess you just go with the original sentence


Look for choices that change the meaning in SC.
certain vs uncertain like in this case,real vs hypothetical like in cases of IF.
