I appreciate the OA spoiler, but your discussion about choice C as well as not underlining the original sentence is distracting.
Please use the underline and spoiler buttons when posting SC questions.

Require that....be & require...to both are correct. In this sentence hand sanitizer require something to kill bacteria.
require that a 60 percent minimum alcohol concentration be present to kill
It indicates that hand sanitizer is expressing a wish/desire/recommendation. Hand sanitizer cannot express moods. I believe this is the main reason to eliminate C.
