3) but that they still not ignore





I would C is correct, parallel and concise.

I would also say that C is correct. A and B use the infinitive "to ignore," and so aren't parallel to "that traders pay," while D changes the meaning of the sentence and E incorrectly uses the present tense "are still not ignoring." C is parallel, consistent with the meaning of the sentence, and in the correct tense.

Thanks Andrea.

I thought there are two suggestions by the traders (marked in Red) and those should like "to...and not to". Can you please explain what wrong with my understanding?
