IMO E: parallelling that clause, would is also suitable with were established

(A): no parallelism
(B): evaluate is wrongly used with single Noun an independent panel
(C): same error as B's. are is also out of line with were established
(D): no parallelism, will is ungrammatically used as reported speech of were established

It's a kind of reported speech, the state of an action at any time in the past:

The federal rules ... were established to ensure that patients would be warned ... and that an independent panel would evaluate ... --> here, the author wants to state about the future action: warning the patient, so he should think of will. However, because the context is being put in the past with the main action were established, any consequent or simultaneous action of it (the main action) will be reported by the same tense of it. Therefore, will in the past is would. Similarly, such rule is applied to the second clause

Sentence part after the underlined portion includes past tense - "were conducted". C and D is not compatible with this part of the sentence. E is best.

IMO E

Pointers -

1. Parallelism (would)
2. "would" (past tense) goes with "were"
