Require is a subjunctive Word and generally the structure for Subjunctive Word require is -

Subjunctive Word + That + Noun + Base form of the Verb

None other than A matches the structure for a sentence including subjunctive word, hence answer is (A) :D

I got confused here in the usage of requires.

I thought we need REQUIRES TO and not the SUBJUNCTIVE requires THAT.


Instructors Can you please help.
