The idiom for the verb "hold " is a"that "-clause.
I hold that X is Y . = correct
Idiomatically,"hold " does not take the infinitive.
I hold X to be Y . = idiomatically incorrect
Thus,(C) &(D) &(E) are incorrect.
We also need parallelism between the two verbs --- "was quot; and "will arise quot;, not "was quot; and "arising " Thus,(B) is wrong, and(A) is the only option left.
Does this make sense?
