I would guess D, because of the parallelism between Selling and Corresponding. Also, we would use the idiom corresponding with when x is in agreement with why. Corresponding to can also be used, but thats when you compare similar things. In this case, it would be more of an agreeement. Now, that being said, I could be wrong. This is just my guess.

OA is B.

"Which " refers to the noun proceeding it . Here it should refer to " stock" but obviously it doesnot make sense.

As per the OA , "which" refers to "franatic selling of stocks ".

Which rule applies here? Need help../
