OG12-12 主语

Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.
(A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead
(B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads
(C) when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead
(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead

主语应该是Inventories 还是Rising inventories这一件事.  决定了the verb should be plural(lead) or singular(leads).
很困惑啊
Thanks

主语是Inventories
Rising作adj修饰inventories
