IMO C

there should be a clause/sentence after "as", eliminate A, B
In D: Taste is singular, and verb "have " is plural, eliminate
in E: the subordinate clause should begin with "that", eliminate

IMO C


A--OUT as should begin a clause.... as of ----wrong

B OUT same as above

C Correct

D: teste of local --- have ---wrong

E: Judgements --- have

[rohit56]

Pay attention to the last part of the sentence. "...the judgments of..." Since "judgments" is plural therefore, verb must also be plural. "have" must be used.
A, B, and E: Use of "has" is incorrect.
D: "the taste"(singular) is followed by "have"(plural). Subject-verb agreement violated.
C: Subject-verb agreement maintained. Hence, C is the answer.
