Remember this construction

If.....were...

It is for a hypothetical situation.

Ex.

If I were to go to the mall,....

Not:

Hi, first of all, Not one ...will be followed by 'is' ... singular subject takes a singular verb.. so let's eliminate answer choices D and E.
You are absolutely right in thinking that the deal is singular but look at the context here...it says if the deal were not to be concluded. ' were' is used as a subjunctive i.e. incase of an unlikely event...therefore were is correct...
