I think "many" should be the one.

I would go with D, as D completes the sentence in its meaning and is also grammatically corrected.
A, could be a possibility so have to hold on to it B, changes meaning and diction aint right C, meaning changes D, could be a possibility so hold on to it E, changes meaning and doesnt sound right
Leaves us with A and D, out of these 2 D conveys a clear picture of the sentence.
Which is until now presidents did not mix private life with public life, and the press supported this cuz the americans judged their presidents without receiving any intimate information about the prez.
