I tossed A and B just on account of Subject Verb agreement.
I believe subject is "price" and that as a consequence, "have" should turn into "has".
That said, answer choice D didn't work for me because "climb further up" appeared redundant.
That left me with C and E.
C appeared to obviate the "heads of the governing bodies" from any responsibility by using "the" in the last word as opposed to "their".
Hence, I went with E.

I think it should be C. but, E seems equally attractive to me! Waiting for the OA.

100% C. E - "their" does not have clear antecedent.
C is clear winner. Anyone agree?
climb up, climb further - redundant.

The cat is out of the bag. Gmat1220 has nailed the issue beautifully. The answer is indeed C as gmat1220 has made out.

C D) has risen and may climb further ... redundant way of saying "may continue to" E) use of continue and further is redundant

+1 C "further" is unnecesary. "their" doesn't have a clear antecedent.

All options with 'have' get eliminated: because of 'price' being singular.
between has and may:
may continue to climb includes the information that they have been climbing - so this is more concise way of saying as compared to D.
also, monsoons failure cant be called 'their' failure on the basis of what the statement is saying.
