OA is D. I answered it, but I don't know why it is better over E.

Ok.. If i understand it correctly..

insurance plans Do (things should be in parallel here).

C - limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients and spend less time. (X, Y and Z)
If you think logically, the last one is not one of the elements of list.

D- (X and Y)
Z is as a consequence of Y. Insurance doesn;t say doctors should spend less time with patients.

the answer is C.

The reason being is that the question is testing your ability to spot parallelisms. note D has impose...requiring..spending
but choice C has impose .....require.... and spend

hope that does the trick for you!

If we had a list of 3 equal items, Enginpassa's explanation would be correct.

However, we don't have 3 equal items here. The plans do not "impose, require and spend", the plans "impose and require" but it's the doctors who "spend less time with patients."

Therefore, we need to break the list into two portions. We want the plans to "impose and require", but we need the doctors to do the spending of less time. Only (d) attaches spending to the doctors (while including the "that" that we need and retaining other elements of parallelism), so it must be the correct choice.
