B is wrong as it uses the incorrect verb form ‘allow’. E and D use the wrong verb form ‘were’. C is unnecessarily complicated, with the phrase’ towards the establishment of’. A is the best answer

"allows" will eliminate B/E
"it vs they" will eliminate D
establishing vs the establishment of eliminate C

I believe that we should not get confused with toward/towards because toward is not the verb in above sentence. Stop looking for SV error with toward in above sentence. :)
