E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.
Explanation:

But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.
