B) It contains a hidden negative; "next year" should be eliminated so the reader won't have to be reminded that he or she must wait a year.
C) It contains a hidden negative; "side-impact" should be revised to "lateral" so the reader won't immediately visualize bodily injury.
D) Actually, you should leave the statement as-is; there is no hidden negative.
E) None of the above.
