A for me
Because I think the idiom is : "...to be necessary to do..."
but i am not sure 
so it can only be A or D
in D the present tense seems illogical. We need at least present perfect because we are talking about past events and about their consequences in the present time.

(A) - has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be
(B) - 'being' drawn is awkward
(C) - awkward sentence
(D) - 'is' is not appropriate
(E) - 'will be' is out
A is the best choice. The present perfect 'has been' is ideal as it emphasizes that the adjudication started in the past and right up to present times.

We need at least present perfect because we are talking about past events and about their consequences in the present time. we are looking back at both actions. present perfect.
