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,

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.
