OA: E
E) Maintains parallelism. required cyclists to keep is a command subjunctive and it's in the correct form: command + subject + "to be" form.

A. regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an
hour, required of cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all
times, and it granted
not parallel.
you can't have just "mandated" in parallel to "IT granted".

"required of X to do Y" is also unidiomatic.

finally, "regulated the use of bicycles" SHOULD NOT be parallel to the other elements, because the ideas aren't parallel. (all the other ideas in the list are subsumed under "regulated the use of bicycles".)
B. regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an
hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all
times, granting
you can't have a list without "and" in front of the final element.

as in (a), "regulated the use of bicycles" SHOULD NOT be parallel to the other elements, because the ideas aren't parallel. (all the other ideas in the list are subsumed under "regulated the use of bicycles".)

C. regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an
hour, required cyclists that they keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars
at all times, and it granted
not parallel.
you can't have just "mandated" in parallel to "IT granted".

also, "required X that they do Y" is not idiomatic.
D. regulating the use of bicycles, mandating a maximum speed of eight miles an
hour, requiring of cyclists that they keep feet on pedals and hands on
handlebars at all times, and granted
not a sentence. you can't use "-ing" forms as verbs.

also, "granted" is not parallel to the "-ing" forms anyway.
E. regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an
hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all
times, and granted
correct.

note that "regulating the use of bicycles" is NOT parallel to the other items. this is the way the sentence should be written.
