A. 'be an impact to' is improper. "have an impact on" or just "impact" is proper usage. "possibility of" is right idiom

B. 'either seriously impact industrialized nations' or 'have an impact on industrialized..' would have been better. "possibility to" is wrong

C. 'either seriously impact industrialized nations' or 'have an impact on industrialized..' would have been better

D. 'possibility of' is the proper idiom

E. correct. uses "have an impact on" and "possibility of".

hence, E
