Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.
(A) investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began
(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began
(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun
(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun
(E) that investment officers’ fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

Its B or D and Why?

since...."have began"....there is no incompatibility...the correst usage should be began...Hence I would go with B

OA is D. Can anyone explain why B is incorrect.

You have to use the Present Perfect tense here since the action started
at a time in the past and continues to the present.

The correct verb-form to use here is "have begun"

That leaves us with choice C and D. C uses the subjunctive mood which
is incorrect (refer Manhattan guide for usage).

Hence D.

"they" in the "performance of the funds they manage" should refer to Investment officers. Here it doesn't do so. A case of possessive pronoun

Its B
The first part of the question itsels gives the ans.
It says dept of labor began to allow.............so the corporations began doing something else.
I general if a sentence starts in tense it should continue in the same tense...
If It Is To Be It Is Up To Me
