CORRECT

Use of "nonetheless " does not make sense for the meaning of the sentence
(C) nevertheless authoritarian
Use of "nevertheless" does not make sense for the meaning of the sentence
(D) not less an authority than
"not" incorrect in this idiom

(A): Wrong subject ("last governor")
(B): Wrong grammatical transition ("nonetheless")
(C): "After all, nevertheless..." odd phrasing
(D): Close, but incorrect placement of adjective.
(E): Correct.
