Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

We have to keep in mind the tense of the original sentence. We can't change the tense while we rewrite. Now, the noun 'agreement' is derived from the verb 'agree'. As the sentence is in past tense, the appropriate verb form would be 'agreed' and not 'agrees'. That is why Option C becomes correct and Option A cancels out.
Option B is incorrect because agreeably is the adverb form.
Option D is incorrect because agreeingly does not exist.
