My pick is A.
one of the potential investors will always take a singular form, so D and E are out.
B . until they sign a merger is wrong
C. agreement be signed by them is awkward and wrong.

Just went through Sahil's Note....

4) One of the: The pattern to remember is 'one of the NOUN (this noun will always be plural) + that/who + PLURAL VERB
Example : He is one of the persons who make money.
This is one of the cars that run on hydrogen.

If that's the case then E seems to be winner...can we have OA pls
