It was a close call between options D and E and frankly i was in a fix to choose one of them. But i think i made an educated guess i.e option E just has a bit of an advantage over option D. So my answer is option E. well options D and E are very close indeed.

Has to Be between D and E
E differs from the stimulus in a very subtle way .

It is D plain and simple because in stimulus- we are assuming that the world leaders would be un-willing to co-operate thus we have to be optimistic for inflation rate stability
similarly in D we are assuming that high cost overruns are not favorable hence the conclusion that vehicle safety is jeopardized.

Think about what actions impact what - the cause and effect.
The statement is structured: "In order for x to happen, y is necessary. However, in order for y, z is necessary. Implying that z is not likely, x won't happen". The closest that comes to this is D, although I'm not crazy about how much more strongly worded the conclusion is (statement says not optimistic, while D says the outcome is unavoidable).
E looks appealing at first, but it differs in that reporting or not reporting company performance (y) doesn't impact whether or not honesty is the best policy (x). There's no cause and effect. Because of this, the conclusion doesn't refer back to x like the original statement does, but to y. A and B are similar in that y doesn't really cause x.
C is flips things around, but is initially similar. "y is necessary for x to happen. In order for y, z is necessary." So far so good - even though the order of the first condition got flipped around, the structure is essentially the same. However, the next part "Therefore, x is only possible if z" doesn't imply that z is not likely.
