a) that deeply ingrained that is axiomatic
b) deeply enough ingrained that it is an axiom
c) so deeply ingrained as to be axiomatic
d) an axiom it is so deeply ingrained
e) as deeply ingrained as if it were an axiom

a - incorrect.
b - sentence not in balance (structure) - incorrect.
c - so deeply ingrained as to be axiomatic - unsure if this is a corrct usage of an idiom?
d - viewpoint is not an axion - logical error.
e - This looks grammatically correct - I will go for this answer.

While E does have the correct idiomatic structure, I have to go with C on this one.

OA?

Can anyone explain why E is incorrect?

e) as deeply ingrained as if it were an axiom
E is wrong because it changes the meaning . the original sentence uses that deeply ingrained that is axiomatic ..which means the author is sure about it ..where as E specifies it were ..hence changes the meaning ..
