Please check my method and correct me if I am wrong:
Option A and B are eliminated because of the phrase- "Try and Block". "Try to Block" is idiomatically correct.
Option C and E state that the law WILL ensnare countries outside the Eurozone whereas the question states that it "Coult"
Which leaves us with C
