Re: As of
IMO A (The Manhattan Way 
)
"none" in itself is singular. But if "of" follows it, then number is determined by the noun following "of".
a> correct
b> "..was.."
c> awkward and use of "..has.."
d> "..has.."
e> distorts meaning

Re: The supply of oil being finite has become an economical
IMO E.
"economical" means "avoiding waste or extravagance". So "economical..consideration.." doesn't makes much sense here. Thus A, B and C eliminated.
Between D & E, eliminating D due to use of "being".

Re: Interesting question
It's between A, C & E for me.
