Daunted by the threat of costly lawsuits, it was decided by most American pharmaceutical companies to abandon doing research in new forms of contraceptives.
(c)most American pharmaceutical companies have decided to abandon research in new forms of contraceptives
(e)most American pharmaceutical companies decided on abandoning research in new forms of contraceptives

I have removed the three wrong options. Now i am not certain on how to decide between C and E.

Can someone please help and show how to decide on the correct answer.

I think C is correct because of verb tense have decided & also because intention is being shown in the sentence which should be followed by infinitive to,therefore decide to

Whats the OA????

There is a "decide on" idiom in English, but it basically means "make a decision on the issue of": Let's meet again at 10am to decide on lunch. The sentence in question here involves a decision that's already been made.
