Because there are terms of the International Maritime Organization that stipulate that every vessel that gets an identification number also be outfitted with an automatic onboard tracking system, they have partly deterred illegal fishing.

E. Because every vessel that gets an identification number must also be outfitted with an automatic onboard tracking system by the terms of the International Maritime Organization, which is already deterring
The first point is that the phrase 'that stipulate' is a subjunctive mood marker. Therefore, we need the bare infinitive verb 'be outfitted' as in A and B. "Must be outfitted" in C, D, and E are out in one go.
Between A and B. the use of the present perfect tense, 'have deterred' is wrong for an extant rule and effect. B is the answer

Official Explanation
Creating a filter: on our way through the prompt, we snag on the pronoun "they" and must ask whether it has a clear reference. It seems to refer to the one plural word, "terms." However, at the beginning of the sentence, the phase "there are terms" uses the suspicious construction "there are." It's unnecessary and distorting, because the effect of the terms isn't due to their mere existence, but rather due to what they specifically stipulate. On those grounds, (A) is out.
Applying the filter: choice (B) removes the problem in (A) with "there are" and may be accurate, so we can come back to it. Choice (C) distorts the intended meaning, because it communicates that the vessel is "partly deterring." Choice (C) is out. In (D), the pronoun "this" is being used to refer to an entire clause, which is considered imprecise in English. Choice (E) uses "which" -- does it have a clear reference? It could refer to "terms" sensibly, but then it would have to be plural, so (E) is out. We are left with one choice. The correct answer is (B).
