The above highlighted are some clues to solve the blank. As these researchers are "some of the foremost researchers, " this means that they had in-depth knowledge of the topic and rarely lacked on any information. So, all the words related to this can be negated Option B is out. Although, we can imply that the researchers and the NGO were not on the same terms. And possibly the researchers failed to prove something Now, we are left with three words:
A hindsight- understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed- This is not what the sentence is trying to imply- Out of Scope
C mendacity- The tendency to be untruthful- Same as A- Out of Scope
D indiscretion- behaviour or speech that is indiscreet or displays a lack of good judgement- Out of Scope
E inefficacy- Failure to produce the desire result- Fit the above pre-thinking- Correct
Hope this helps!

How do we eliminate incompetence ? The explanation above is technically wrong since the blank (incompetence/inefficacy) is referring to the guidelines, not the researchers.
