E Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence compares the degree of transparency between Indians and Americans. 'Far more' is grammatically correct as it modifies the adjective 'transparent' to show greater extent. 'Farther' is for physical distance only, 'further more' is misspelled, 'greater' and 'many more' do not work with transparent.
