Crux portion of the sentence

The health commissioner said .....to prevent the outbreak from recurring in the future.


Since, Commisioner refers to future actions, all the past tenses " tried" can be eliminated ( B C D)


We need "that" for parallellsim

The health commissioner said

that the government had implemented

and

that it would try

Choose E
