The best option to complete the sentence is **A** "And."
The sentence would read: "So, if the number of confirmed new coronavirus cases continues to decline, then the adverse effect on annual growth will be much smaller, and he added."
This maintains a logical flow, connecting the decline in cases with the subsequent thought without introducing a contrasting idea (which would be indicated by "Yet") or suggesting causality (which "Because" implies). "Correct as is" is not appropriate since a conjunction is needed for clarity.
