D and E can immediately be eliminated because the object is "one", therefore the verb must be singular.

C can be eliminated next because of "a merger agreement be signed".

That leaves A and B. B is wrong because of "until they sign". "They" is an incorrect pronoun reference.

I choose A.

Hi abhasjha,

Pate13's explanation is correct; I'm going to add some additional explanation.

1) Verbs: The beginnings of the answers offer an obvious "split" - "is" vs. "are." The subject of the sentence is "ONE", so we're dealing with a singular noun. Eliminate D and E.

2) Pronouns: Since we're dealing with a singular noun, any option that includes a plural pronoun (in reference to that singular noun) is incorrect. Eliminate B ("they") and C ("them").

Final Answer: A
