I think the answer is A

Because of the business community’s uncertainty about the President’s position in regard to the issue of the budget deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates has occurred.
(A) in regard to the issue of the budget deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates has (AKWARD,moreover 'position in' is unidiomatic)
(B) on the deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates has (CORRECT)
(C) regarding the budgetary deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates have (SUBJECT-VERB DISAGREE)
(D) on the deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates have
(E) regarding the deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates have

Thanks
