Explanation:

Option A is incorrect as 'that' here is the relative pronoun for 'standards' which are in plural number. The verb that follows has to agree to this.

Option B is false due to incorrect usage of which. A general thumb rule while choosing that or which is- if the sentence doesn’t need the clause that the word in question is connecting, use which. If it does, use that. Thus, which should have been replaced with that. Plus, usage of 'among' as preposition is also ungrammatical as 'among' takes a plural noun or pronoun after it.

Option C is incorrect as usage of present participle is absurd here in the context.

Option D is the opposite of the sentence and false.

Clearly, the sentence has no error and needs no improvement.

Hence, option E is correct.
