Here HOWEVER implies contrast between two sentences. So if one sentence is positive, then the other should be negative or vice-versa.

Option A :

steadily : predictable, reliable, unchanging pace
stabilizes : calm, steady

No contrast.
 

Option B :

forever : continues
increases : getting big/large

No contrast.

Option C :

erratically : unpredictable
mitigates : lessen

Not either, Erratic is not suiting the sentence.

Option D :

indefinitely : continues/ for indefinite time
diminishes : lessen

Perfect.

Option D is the answer.
