Some scientists are proposing that if the H5N1 avian flu strain does begin to spread from person to person, antivirals are then sprayed over the affected geographical areas much as pesticides are sprayed over fields; this unprecedented strategy could slow the spread of the disease and “buy time” for individuals to be properly vaccinated.

are then sprayed over the affected geographical areas -- Sentence is in subjunctive mood. use of "are" after if is wrong
B) that if the H5N1 avian flu strain does begin to spread from person to person, antivirals
be sprayed over the affected geographical areas --- Correct use of "be" as sentence is in subjunctive mood
C) that antivirals
should be sprayed over the affected geographical areas, if the H5N1 avian flu strain does begin to spread from person to person --- "should be" shows compulsion

E)
spraying antivirals over the affected geographical areas, if the H5N1 avian flu strain does begin to spread from person to person -- Awkward, ungrammatical
