IMO: A

requires :--> we need "that" + Subjuntive mood

A has "That" + "subjuntive" + "parallelism [ for jobs..as for jobs...]"

Subjuntive means whenever a thought is explained...

here requires means a kind of thought, something which is not put into practical use yet.

I have always seen "subjunctive clause" are always expressed with "that".

but every clause that start with "that" is not subjunctive.

here, you know that we need to use subjunctive mood, so option C,D, and E eliminated on first split.

out of B and A: you see usage of "be" in A..that confirm my choice to A.

to be form of verb :
"to be"
is,
am,
are,
was,
were,
being,
been,
be
(this is as per Manhattan SC book)
you need "be" (bare form of verb) to express subjunctive mood.

and Remember : never use "should" after that.
