OPTION A:- INCORRECT
Cutting back on the trout stocking on the part of come states and even their being removed- recommending needs 'that'.

OPTION B:- INCORRECT
Cutting back on trout on the part of some states and even that they removed them. This option is the same as option A above.

OPTION C:- INCORRECT
That trout stocking to be cut back in some states *the have been removed*. Here, the verb tense is issue ; Because the two actions are taken as similar/equivalent, they should be in the same form (e.g biologists are recommending x and even removing some trout.....")
"Are recommending" is present tense....It's going on now. "They even remove" is an indicative-tense, "that's just what happens" verb, so logically it doesn't make sense, either. Remember, the purpose of the sentence is to talk about current events happening in trout stocking.

OPTION D:- INCORRECT
That some states cut back on trout stocking and even their being removed there is a total poor usage of 'their and being' it is very obvious.

OPTION E:- CORRECT
That some states cut back on trout stocking and even remove the trout well constructed and satisfying
