Correct as written. Subjunctives (words like require/ment, suggest/ion, order) always take that + the infinitive--the infinitive being the unconjugated dictionary form, like "to be" or "to run".

A has "that" and "return." None of the other answer choices do. A, therefore, is correct. B and C have Should and Would respectively, and can be eliminated; D doesn't use That. E looks good, but "returns" is conjugated, not the infinitive, so it can be eliminated.
