There is nothing wrong with the original sentence.
Option D is wrong because of 'might'
Option E is wrong because of usage of 'that' instead of 'in order to', which clearly indicates purpose.
I would go with the original sentence Among A,B and C as 'in order to' , 'for' , ' so as to' all indicate purpose or intent.

Original Sentence: The modifier "faced" correctly modifies "many state governments" and the purpose of imposing taxes is correctly presented by "in order to"
A. Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens in order to raise funds in advance of the next calamity.
--> correct
B. Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens for raising funds in advance of the next calamity.
--> "for raising" doesn't convey the intention behind imposing taxes.
C. Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens so as to raise funds in advance of the next calamity.
--> "so as to" is wrongly used to present the intention. Note that "So X as to" is a correct idiom but not "so as to" used for presenting intention.
D. Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens in order that the government might raise funds in advance of the next calamity.
--> "might" is incorrectly used. the original sentence doesn't convey any uncertainty. Also, the use of "in order that" to present intention is incorrect
E. Faced with the recurrence of natural disasters, such as floods and wildfires, many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens that they can raise funds in advance of the next calamity.
--> use of "that" here doesn't present the intention of the government.
