i vote for C

E)the reason is..... because redundant
B)check are necessary subject-verb agreement
D)not sure but them has vague antecedent (it can possibly refer to a records)

perhaps simply: it is important is better
A)wordy, subjest in the sentence begin with that clause, not wrong but not perfect ( for example og 12 page 668#57 see oe)

a.) That every worker has a clean criminal record is of some importance to investment banks which is why a stringent background check is a necessary prerequisite for all of their job applicants ------> "which" should be preceded by a comma.

b.) Clean criminal records of their employees is important to investment banks; hence, a stringent background check are necessary prerequisites for employment

c.) Because they consider it important that all of their employees have a clean criminal record, investment banks require each job applicant to undergo a stringent background check

d.) It is of some importance that all investment banks' workers have clean criminal records which is why many of them undergo stringent background checks -------> "which" should be preceded by a comma".

e.) The reason that investment banks require background checks of their applicants is because they require clean criminal records of their employees

I find C to be the best out of all the five options
