PT50.S2.Q22 - Real wages will increase if productivity increases

Why is option E wrong? I know why the correct answer is D. However, I feel like if i did not read D first, I might have picked E. I feel like E draws the connection between new technology and an increase in productivity.

I thought the only reason it could be wrong is because it leaves out "notably" in discussing productivity increases. So, the new technology could be impacting the increases in productivity, not just notably. However, I then looked at option D (the correct one) and it does not mention notably.

What is happening now does not necessarily determine what happens in the future. Also, we kind of already have E int he stimulus. We know they are investing, just very little, and that it is not enough to increase productivity. Or more simply, it just doesn't fill the gap between tech investment and productivity increases.
