OG13 verbal 部分 27题 有没有NN解释一下

Obtaining an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low, protect its already-tattered image, and increase its ability to buy bond insurance.

(A) Obtaining an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low, protect

(B) To obtain an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low, and protect

(C) Having obtained an investment-grade rating will, in keeping the county's future borrowing costs low, protect

(D) To obtain an investment-grade rating would keep the county's future borrowing costs low, protecting

(E) Obtaining an investment-grade rating, keeping the county's borrowing costs low, would be protecting

对于obtaining 和to obtain OG的解释是 the infinitive subject to obtain suggests that obtaining an investment grade rating is an objective in and of itself, not a means to achieve the desired benefits.这个解释我不是很清楚 有NN解释一下to obtain 和obtaining 的区别的吗？ 谢谢

我个人觉得to be 这里更多是表目的的意思，也就是翻译出来就是“为了获得。。。将会保持。。。保护。。和增长”。但是原文不是想表达这个意思，原文是想说（通过）获得啥将会咋样，也就是说在这句的主语，即ing短语表示的是一种能产生结果（will后面的）的行为方式（obtain rating）。
