Certainly not something we see every day on the GMAT! But since we have the same "issue" in all five choice, we don't have to worry about it.
Remember, we're not here to look at a single sentence in a bubble and label it right or wrong based on our so-called grammar rules. These "rules" are really about clarity: pronouns with clear and logical references are generally better than pronouns that lack a clear and logical reference. Why? Because obviously the meaning is clearer in the first case.
In a piece of writing, you'll certainly see sentences that have a pronoun without an antecedent. In this particular question, the GMAT is just implying some unknown subject that presumably would have been mentioned earlier, if this sentence had been part of a larger passage.
But again, the most important takeaway is this: if you see the same "issue" in all five choices, then you KNOW that you can't use that "issue" as a decision point. End of story.
I hope that helps!

The simple rule here is that "whether" includes the "or not." If "whether is being used, the "or not" is implied.
This rule tells us that Options B, C and E are out.
The correct usage is "Whether they will x or y depends on z". "Whether they will x or y depends if z" is incorrect. This means Option D is also out.
This leaves us with Option A as the answer.

GMATNinja Thank you for your great replies above. Two quick follow up questions.
(1) I understand why B is incorrect (due to the if). However, if the last part of the sentence was corrected, are there any circumstances within which a double "whether" works? Or is the idiom always "whether x or y"
(2) Would option C be correct if the parallelism with "scaling" was fixed? It seems wordy and messy regardless.
Thank you!
