for having failed to abide by the agreement

No correction required

Explanation:

Correct Option: B

Here, the correct phrase should be 'abide by' and not 'abide to'.

Abide by (Phrasal Verb):

to follow a rule, decision, or instruction

Ex. They promised to abide by the rules of the contest.

Hence, Options A can be eliminated.

Option C and D can also be eliminaed as well as it's clear that there are more than one agreement and the noun 'agreement' has to be in plural to stay relevant in the context.

Clearly, option B is correct.
