My answer is (D). It took me 01:53.

(A) "effect" should "determines" instead of "determine".
(BC) are quickly eliminated because " news coverage have" should be " news coverage has".
(E) "effects" should "determine" rather than "determines".

This question tests basic subject verb agreement.
Has is used correctly in the sentence but determine doesnt agree in number with the singular subject the aggregate effect.
Option D corrects this error and is the right answer

A) news coverage has on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the aggregate effect of choices by individual editors and journalists determine, to a large degree, the public’s perception of a candidate
effect should be followed by determines therefore out

B) news coverage have on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the aggregate effect of individual choices of editors and journalists determine the public’s perception of a candidate to a large degree
has is the right usage therefore out

C) news coverage have on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the individual choices of editors and journalists determine, to a large degree, the public’s perception of a candidate
has is the right usage therefore out

D) news coverage has on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the aggregate effect of choices by individual editors and journalists determines, to a large degree, the public’s perception of a candidate
The meaning and tense is fine therefore let us hang on to it

E) news coverage has on the results of a presidential election, though all agree, to a large degree, that the aggregate effects of choices by individual editors and journalists determines the public’s perception of a candidate
THe agreement is not agreed to a large extent but rather the influence the journalists have on the election result wrong meaning therefore out

Therefore IMO D

A) news coverage has on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the aggregate effect of choices by individual editors and journalists determine, to a large degree, the public’s perception of a candidate Incorrect

the aggregate effect singular, so determine should be determines

B) news coverage have on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the aggregate effect of individual choices of editors and journalists determine the public’s perception of a candidate to a large degree Incorrect

news coverage singular, so have should be has
the aggregate effect singular, so determine should be determines

C) news coverage have on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the individual choices of editors and journalists determine, to a large degree, the public’s perception of a candidate Incorrect

same as B

D) news coverage has on the results of a presidential election, but all agree that the aggregate effect of choices by individual editors and journalists determines, to a large degree, the public’s perception of a candidate Correct

E) news coverage has on the results of a presidential election, though all agree, to a large degree, that the aggregate effects of choices by individual editors and journalists determines the public’s perception of a candidate Incorrect
