It is a hypothetical scenario in the past.
So we need to follow If...then construction for past tense.
If + Verb in Past tense, then + Would + verb
(A) if it fully implemented all of its own regulations completely >> A lot of redundancy (fully implemented and Completely) + the meaning is not very clear.
(B) if it was to implement all of its own regulations completely >> Incorrect ( Was should be were since the intended meaning requires an Unreal Past Conditional)
(C) were it to fully implement all of its own regulations >> Correct
(D) if it was to implement all of its own regulations >>Incorrect ( Was should be were.)
(E) if it is to implement its own regulation fully >> Verb tense error (Is should be Was)

The Environmental Protection Agency would be overburdened by its detection and enforcement duties if it fully implemented all of its own regulations completely.
Analysis:
1.Subject - Environmental Protection Agency - Singular subject
2.Were / Was
EPA would be overburneded only if implements regulations -- In hypothetical situation, we should use Were instead of was.
Lets see the answer choices
(A) if it fully implemented all of its own regulations completely - Incorrect
This is a hypothetical situation, 'would' be overbudened only if something happens or if company were to do something. 'if it fully implemented' is incorrect. Also fully implemented and completely is redundant.
(B) if it was to implement all of its own regulations completely - Incorrect
was is incorrect for a hypothetical situation.
(C) were it to fully implement all of its own regulations - Correct
This choice correctly uses 'were' and also removed the redundant 'completely'
(D) if it was to implement all of its own regulations - Incorrect
The usage of 'was' is incorrect
(E) if it is to implement its own regulation fully - Incorrect
'it is to' at the start of the sentence is incorrect
Ans C
