My stake on E

"requiring citizens to attest" is the correct correct form -requiring X to do(attest) Y

Also, to attest prior hand to have their -- are parallel.

In my opinion it is 'E'.... What is the OA?

I will try to explain 'E':

Correct idiomatic usage is 'Require X to do Y'. Only one statement 'E' has the construction..
