But someone can explain the concept of the COUNT NOUNS

A noun being considered countable or uncountable depends on being able to count individual items of that noun.

In this case, we can count dioxins. We could say that there are seven dioxins to which North Americans are exposed.

On the other hand, water is uncountable. I couldn't say that I drank three waters yesterday. Three liters of water, or three glasses of water, sure, but not three waters.

Unique modifiers for countable/uncountable (using trees as a countable noun and water as an uncountable noun):

Many trees, much water
Few trees, little water
Fewer trees, less water
Several trees, some water

I did not understand your reasoning for ruling gout B, dioxins that North Americans are exposed to look correct to me.
There is an inherent problem because of much - I agree but I didn't understand how the above highlighted part is incorrect.

why do you need a TO ? when exposed sounds fine.

E uses "to" as well, but in front of dioxins instead of behind it as B does. As a general rule, we should not end a sentence or clause with a preposition. This is why (aside from the many/much issue) B can be ruled out.
