(A) no less an authority than
Idiom
CORRECT

Use of "nonetheless " does not make sense for the meaning of the sentence
(C) nevertheless authoritarian
Use of "nevertheless" does not make sense for the meaning of the sentence
(D) not less an authority than
"not" incorrect in this idiom
(E) an authority not less than

Answer: (E)
E is the only one that uses the correct subject (an authority).
(A): Wrong subject ("last governor")
(B): Wrong grammatical transition ("nonetheless")
(C): "After all, nevertheless..." odd phrasing
(D): Close, but incorrect placement of adjective.
(E): Correct.
