In opinion, the question is weird and all options are incorrect. First of all "the threat" sounds incorrect. It must be "a threat"..

A - statement should have been "...was not as much a threat to the local farms as it was...." to make this option correct
B - doesn't create the intended comparison
C - were is incorrect
D - had been is incorrect
E - same as D

Can you plz post the source of this question??

Just want to make sure that it is from an authentic source before everyone starts racking their brains on this one!

Cheers!

Totally agree. Terrible question. We should be wary of questions which are ungrammatical in their non underlined part.
was not the threat to the local farms - what the heck is this?
