The answer is E.
Disingenuous: This word means insincere or dishonest. In this context, it implies that the science community's perennial complaints about inadequate budgets might seem insincere or not entirely genuine because the sentence indicates that government support for science and engineering has never been greater. Therefore, the contrast between their complaints and the increased support might make their perennial lament appear disingenuous or insincere.
