i would go with C

between A and C, C seems better as one should avoid starting the sentence with a sub-ordinate clause.



(B) That the objectives of economic policy are formal and theoretical and that it can be designed solely by economists, without any need for political involvement in the process, is implied by a view held by a number of economists, that is, that economic policy is a purely academic issue.



(D) Without any need for political involvement in the process, a view held by a number of economists that economic policy is a purely academic issue implies that its objectives are formal and theoretical and can be designed solely by economists.
damages the meaning


(E) From the implication that the objectives of economic policy are formal and theoretical and that economic policy can be designed solely by economists, without any need for political involvement in the process, is implied that economic policy is a purely academic issue, a view held by a number of economists

Works for me. We have several modifiers, but none of them (except for the last one) require commas.

Vinayak,
(C) A view held by a number of economists that economic policy is a purely academic issue implies that the objectives of economic policy are formal and theoretical and that economic policy can be designed solely by economists, without any need for political involvement in the process. >> Looks ok to me; I am scared by the lack of commas, though
A view held by a number of economists that economic policy is ....... implies that the objectives ...... and that economic policy ...., without ..... process.


Red color - Sentence with Main subject & main verb
Blue color - Dependent clause & Essential modifier with "that".....So commas are not required
Uncolored - is the modifier which require comma separation
