Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: This answer choice conveys the intended meaning of the sentence, maintains subject-verb agreement, and ensures the formation of a complete sentence. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
Choice B: This answer choice features a subject-verb agreement between the noun "advocates" and the verb "declares". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice C: This answer choice changes the meaning of the sentence by using the phrase "comfortably thought"; this phrase implies that the act of thinking was comfortable, while the correct meaning is that the amount of regulation was comfortable. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice D: This answer choice links two dependent clauses, forming an incomplete sentence. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice E: This answer choice links two dependent clauses, forming an incomplete sentence. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
All the best!
