    B Investors had concerned about Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Investors is concern over Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Investors are concerning with Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No replacement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    “Have concerned” is incorrect because "concerned" here is an adjective, not a verb in perfect tense. The correct structure is " are concerned over/about " to indicate a present state of worry. "Over" is also commonly used in economic contexts.
