(C) they implement dress codes that permit employees to wear correct (to wear correct?... wth...)

lol... was unsure about C or D.... but picked (C) because it has the correct idiom: Permit X to Y

(A) the dress codes that it implements permit employees to wear your answer. The survey implements?

(B) the dress codes that they implement permits employees to wear. Should be "permit"

(C) they implement dress codes that permit employees to wear. Correct

(D) they implement dress codes that permit employees wearing. Not the correct idiom

(E) it implements dress codes that permit employees who wear. Survey implements? employes who wear...?
OA=C
I selected A

(A) the dress codes that it implements permit employees to wear your answer

(B) the dress codes that they implement permits employees to wear - this will be correct if there is two "they" and the verb "permits" refers to dress codes .... It should be plural verb permit

(C) they implement dress codes that permit employees to wear correct ..... Option C conveyed a clear meaning to the whole sentence.

(D) they implement dress codes that permit employees wearing

(E) it implements dress codes that permit employees who wear

OA=C

I will go with Option "C"
I selected A

OE for this question is:

This sentence contains a pronoun-antecedent agreement error. The majority of managers is a plural antecedent, but it is a singular pronoun.

The indefinite pronoun majority takes the number of the noun it describes:

The majority of the mountain (singular noun) is (singular verb) closed to skiers because it (singular pronoun) is covered with snow.

The majority of managers (plural noun) are (plural verb) angry because they (plural pronoun) cannot find a single employee.

Choice C fixes the pronoun antecedent error. They is properly used to refer to the plural majority of managers. Additionally, this option uses the preferable active voice.

Choice B introduces a subject-verb agreement error: the dress codes is a plural subject, but permits is a singular verb.

Choice D introduces an idiomatic error; the valid idiom is permit X to Y.

Choice E retains the pronoun-antecedent agreement error and does not use the valid idiom permit X to Y.

The correct answer is C.
