i am doubtful about the usage of "have been" at the end..at the same time, from other options it is pretty clear that C is the better choice.

Can it be something like..
whether tourists will continue to visit game parks to see rhinoceroses once the animals’ are trimmed.. ??

Please explain.

Thanks,
Iwill

Between 'Whether' and 'IF' , 'Whether' is apt here. So this rules out D and E.
In A and B, it is not clear if 'Their' refers to poachers or Rhino, so the best choice is C.
