A. However one likes it or not; agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
This creates two independent clauses that are supposed to be put in a single sentence to convey the intended meaning. Also, usage of However is non sensical
B. However, one likes it or not agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income
usage of However is non sensical
C. Whether one likes it or not, agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
Correct
D. Whether one likes it or not agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
A comma is required after it to make the meaning clear
E. Whether one likes it or not! agriculture will be considered as the primary source of income,
This creates two independent clauses that are supposed to be put in a single sentence to convey the intended meaning.

A - However - it is a contrast word but it also leads to a conclusion. Here the use of however alters the intended meaning. Incorrect.
B - Same reasoning as A. Incorrect.
C - Whether - (1) it is a contrast word and it correctly conveys the intended meaning, (2) Whether is used as a subordinating conjunction at the beginning of the clause therefore it makes the first clause a subordinate clause and thus a comma after it is mandatory. The structure used is correct. Structure✅ Meaning✅
D - (1) Mandatory comma is missing after the subordinate clause therefore wrong structure. Incorrect.
E - (1) Exclamation mark is incorrect.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

I chose C, based on the following reasoning:
Quote:
However, when used as a conjunction, means "but", which is clearly incorrect here.
Quote:
Missing comma makes this a run-on sentence.
Quote:
so dramatic...
