      C Only 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence establishes: → a conditional future possibility. Evaluate: 1. may continue to erode → Correct Shows possible future decline. Sentence remains logical. 2. will have continued eroding → Incorrect Future perfect continuous is inappropriate because no future completion point exists. Sentence becomes tense-inconsistent. 3. can remain vulnerable → Correct Expresses continued susceptibility. Sentence: public confidence can remain vulnerable… Thus only 1 and 3 fit. Hence, option (2).
