um... what's your question? you didn't ask a question in your post.
the fastest way to resolve this problem:
* "view NOUN to be ADJ" is unidiomatic; "view NOUN as ADJ" is idiomatically correct.
- this gets rid of (b)(d)(e) in one stroke.
* (c) isn't a complete sentence.
- you can ignore "many financial experts believe that", which is a "warmup". what's left should be a complete sentence.
in order to determine whether these choices are complete sentences, you can kill the modifier that's set off by 2 commas in each. you can also kill the prepositional phrase "at the federal reserve".
if you do so in (a), you get "policy makers are almost certain...", which is a complete sentence.
if you do so in (c), you get "policy makers who are almost certain...", which is not a complete sentence.
