A.) million, which is part of a deal that will make
which refers to???
B.) million, a part of a deal that makes
the whole clause(will purchase.... ) is a part of deal. so importantly it should be "as a part of some deal". Also will purchase is parallel to will make, this thing is not followed here.
C.) million, part of a deal making
D.) million as a part of a deal to make
the usage "as a part of a deal" is NOT WRONG BUT LESS PREFERRED TO "as part of a deal" in option E.
Also the parallelism issue.
E.) million as part of a deal that will make
