(A) found that they could raise prices according to this amount without thereby provoking

(B) found that they were capable of raising prices by this amount and not provoke

(C) find that they are capable of raising prices by this amount and not provoke

(D) are finding that they can raise prices by this amount without provoking

(E) are finding that they can raise prices according to this amount and will not thereby provoke

prices "according", this is weird, the word "according" doesn't make sense there, so we elinimate A,E

in choice B,C.........."and" ........the structure doesn't look like Parallel, so we only can go with D
