Not one of the potential investors is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded.

1. is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were

2. is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal was

3. is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were

Here the answer is A..

I can understand that B and C has pronoun agreement error "they" and "them".. My doubt is "if the deal were" vs "if the deal was" can you please clarify.

Not sure on this one, but I think in a hypothetical situation you should use, if the deal were. Not if the deal was.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

It is considering the hypothetical situation, So we need to choose the past tense.
BUT in case of was/were we need to go with were IRRESPECTIVE of singular/plural subject.

Thanks
