Question of an university entrance exam
Guys, I need help with the following question
"Which of the alternatives below could replace 'will doubtlessly give way to' without changing the literal meaning of the sentence?
(A) Will irrevocably make room for
(B) Will questionably originate
(C) Will certainly yield to
(D) Will definetively open
(E) Will suspiciously produce
The answer is C, but I can't understand why is A and D are wrong...
The sentence has been taken from a text, I'll paste the excerpt below:
"Therefore we need to outline and promote a methodology for the aesthetic study of games, which, given the current nascent state of the field, will doubtlessly give way to more sophisticated approaches in the years to come."
