OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

We can't see anything obviously wrong with this sentence as it's written once we've read it through carefully, so now we're ready to take a look at our other answer choices for a potentially better phrasing.
Choice (B)'s "grants...powers for them" is redundant because "grants" already indicates that the powers are for the investigating agencies.
Moving "among other things" to follow "bank accounts," as choice (C) does, changes the meaning of the sentence; this change makes it sound as though the agencies have been granted the ability to freeze things other than bank accounts, when actually they have been granted other powers. Since we don't have a reason to think this meaning is what was intended, we can eliminate choice (C) as an option.
Choices (D) and (E) incorrectly use "it" to refer back to a plural noun, "agencies." Leaving the sentence as it is seems to be our best choice here.

Hence the correct answer is A
