A and E can be eliminated because the phrase "like ground-floor rent for restaurants" is not correct.
Like is used for comparison and such as is used for example.

B - requiring is not the correct verb form

D - uses "required that" - "that" is unwanted here.Without that the meaning is concise.

IMO C is the correct one

Also,THAT can be omitted when the Modified noun is the object of the sentence.

Eg. The movie that we watched last night was scary.

Better would be

The movie we watched last night was scary.

Regulation required that X receive
  • >80% of income from tenants and
    <20% of income from other sources.
there is no comparison here so like cannot be used for giving examples only such as needs to be used.
So A and E are out for the same reason.

A. Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the "80-20 rule" required that condominium associations receive at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and no more than 20 percent from other sources, like ground-floor rent for restaurants.

B. Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the "80-20 rule" requiring that condominium associations receive
  • at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and
    have no more than 20 percent from other sources, such as ground-floor rent for restaurants.
requiring changes the meaning and structure of the sentence.

C. Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the "80-20 rule" required condominium associations to receive
  • at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and
    have no more than 20 percent from other sources, such as ground-floor rent for restaurants.
D. Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the "80-20 rule" required that condominium associations receive
  • at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and
    have no more than 20 percent from other sources, such as ground-floor rent for restaurants.
E. Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the "80-20 rule" required condominium associations to receive at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and to have no more than 20 percent from other sources, like ground-floor rent for restaurants.
