Theorists of expeditions to extrasolar planets have typically been concerned with exceeding the speed of light and to what degree it could be, but aerospace engineers have long expected that the greatest obstacles to the manned exploration of other solar systems would be the difficulty of prolonged food storage and exposure to cosmic radiation.

B) Theorists of expeditions to extrasolar planets have typically had as their concern the exceeding of the speed of light and to what degree it could be
C) Theorists of expeditions to extrasolar planets have typically been concerned with whether the speed of light can be exceeded and to what degree - Correct

E) The theorists of extrasolar expeditions to other planets have typically been concerned with whether the speed of light can be exceeded and the degree that is
Theorists are concerned whether the speed of light can be exceeded not that they can exceed the speed of light (which is what "exceeding the speed of light" tries to convey) - A, B and D - Eliminated
In E) that has no antecedent
C) communicates it properly using to what degree it would exceed if the speed of light can be exceeded

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
This sentence describes the different concerns of theorists and engineers about interstellar travel. The theorists apparently wonder about exceeding the speed of light, while the engineers have more concerns about the passengers.
Choices (A) and (B) don't make sense without the word "done" after "it could be," and Choice B is also unnecessarily wordy in saying "have typically had as their concern" instead of the simpler "have typically been concerned."
Choice (C) looks like the best, because it expresses the point of the sentence clearly and with no wasted words, but let's quickly check the others.
Choice (D) would be much clearer without the "it would" stuck on the end, and choice (E) stops making sense after "exceeded," so choice (C) still looks best.
The correct answer is (C).
