d. as he was urged to do by his own doctor, his chief advisers, and a coalition of some->wordy and redundant

A should be the answer.
'at the urging of......' is grammatically correct.
'his' clearly refers to the governor not the programs because 'his' always refers to the living beings.
other choices are awkward and wordy.
