Original sentence has "...compliance...protect...". It should be "compliance...protects...".

Another correct alternative would be "...compliance...is protecting..."

A, C, and D are eliminated.
B is better than E because E has an unidiomatic construction: "compliance with laws to require...".

The better construction in B "compliance with laws requiring..." makes it the right answer.

The correct answer is B.
