The subtle essence of the topic is that there is much agreement and not mere agreement and that they may agree (the speculative intent of the modal verb may) and not simply agree Choices B through E suffer from altered intent either by skipping the word much as in D or through stating affirmative agreements rather than possible agreements as in B, C and E. A reflects the tow phenomena rightly

e. Despite there being agreement among governments around the world that In the non-underlined portion we have "and that steps...." so we need "that" after agree to make things parallel so Kill C and D we can also kill B and E because, apart from the reasons, which are more black&white, mentioned by Daagh, "to the fact that" in B & "being" is E are wordy, not necessary and awkward.

A reflects the tow phenomena rightly Hi Daagh, Don't you think that the use of "Much" before "Government" is incorrect in option A as well.
