(A) Regarded by opponents as ineffective and meddlesome and by supporters as a conserver of life and energy, the fight over the speed limit continues in our legislatures and on our freeways.

While parallelism is maintained in modifier and the modifier correctly modifies the fight over speed limit, this sentence looks rhetorically improper. However, I kept it as an option and moved to other answer choices.

(B) Regarded by opponents as ineffective and meddlesome and by supporters as a conserver of life and energy, the speed limit continues to be fought over in our legislatures and on our freeways.

Improper modifier modifying speed. No meaning conveyed. Thus, eliminate.

(C) Regarded by opponents as ineffective meddling and by supporters as the conservation of life and energy, the speed limit continues to be fought over in our legislatures and on our freeways.

same as B.

(D) The fight over the speed limit, regarded by opponents as ineffective and meddlesome and by supporters as a conserver of life and energy, continues in our legislatures and on our freeways.

This is similar to A except that the meaning is crisp. While reading A I had a doubt whether modifier modifies speed or fight but sentence appears more clear to me and better than A. Thus, eliminate A after reading D.

(E) The fight over the speed limit, a measure regarded by opponents as ineffective and meddlesome and by supporters as a conserver of life and energy, continues in our legislatures and on our freeways.

Here modifier modifies speed limit by using 'a measure'. Thus incorrect.
This question tests modifier and parallelism concepts.
