Meaning Analysis: The jury is afraid of the mobster - due to X- and to send Y to prison as well.
Incorrect: Suspected the jury.
Correct: Suspected that "something happened"
Eliminating A and B.
C. that the jury’s terror to convict the infamous mobster – a decision that could possibly cost them and their families physical harm – and of sending
Since "them" and "their" is dangling pronoun with no antecedent. It is incorrect.
Now we are left with D and E. Let us check for parallelism.
D. has fear of convicting X and sending Y.
E. was terrified of conflicting X and of sending Y.
I go with E as X is a clause and for clarity.
I am really struck between D and E.
E might be correct if this's the case:
Has fear of X --- sounds non-idiomatic?
Could possibly --- redundant? As pointed by Yash312
