In A and E, payments and paid are redundant.
Eliminate A and E.

B: they do not expect payments
Here, they (plural) does not agree with The European Standard Bank (singular).
Eliminate B.

C: payments when it is due
Here, it (singular) does not agree with payments (plural).
Eliminate C.

The correct answer is D.
