By trying to figure out what the future is going to look like through a number of highly probable scenarios, we can form alternative plans for each. Besides, if we do not try to guess what is awaiting us and do not decide what we want to do, we can only be on the defensive side and be reactive rather than proactive.

Then, it is more likely that we make mistakes and waste resources. If you do not plan for the future, then you lose the chance of shaping the future. The correct answer is E.
