In this sentence, impose and require must be parallel to each other as these are the aspects of insurance plans. Restrictive clause "that" is required in this context. -ing modifiers are not appropriate to this context.

So, eliminate A, B. Eliminate C because it is awkward. Eliminate E because it shows that require and spend are same aspects which actually is not.

However, i don't see D a sensible option either. ".., and spending" is just too awkward.

Is the sentence transcribed properly?
