Explanation:

The given sentence talks about the mixed responses given by brokerage houses. Since "saying" has been used once in the
sentence, "adding" can be used as a connector to state another response. The usage of "saying" will make the sentence
redundant, while "speaking" would be grammatically incorrect. "Awaited" fits appropriately in the second blank, indicating that there is still no clarity excise duty exemption. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
