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.

corporations began
(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage,

several corporations have begun.
(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage,

OA is D
Question what is wrong with C?
In A, B and E, began is in the wrong tense. Since requires the present perfect tense: since 1986...several corporations HAVE BEGUN. Eliminate A, B and E.

In C, be based should not be in the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is appropriate when an action is being requested or demanded -- not when it is being ALLOWED. The correct idiom here is allow X to Y. Eliminate C.

The correct answer is D.

common verbs that take only the command subjunctive :
demand, dictate, insist, mandate, propose, recommend, request, stipulate, suggest.

eg: we demand that he be here.


verbs that take only the infinitive :
advise, allow, forbid, persuade, want.

eg: we allow him to be here.


verbs that take either the command subjunctive or the infinitive :
ask, beg, intend, order, require.

eg: we require that he be here.
eg: we require him to be here.
