If a drug that is already on the market has the potential to help adults and children who have the same disease, or if it is widely used in children and the absence of labeling seems dangerous, the FDA can require that the drug undergo pediatric study.

(A) that the drug undergo
(B) that the drug undergoes
(C) that the drug is to undergo
(D) the drug undergoing
(E) the drug to have to undergo

[spoiler]OA: My doubt is between option A and option B. I tried to solve this problem in the following way-

Can require doesn't symbolize bossy wording therefore, I thought of not using subjunctive mood and went with option B but the OA is A. Please help[/spoiler]

Hi... with bossy words such as require... you need to use the infinitive form of verb without 'to'.
So, in this case, you need to use 'undergo' (remember, the infinitive form of this one is 'to undergo' and not 'to undergoes')

Hope this helps!.
