(A) that employers should retain all older workers
(B) that all older workers be retained by employers
(C) the retaining by employers of all older workers
(D) employers’ retention of all older workers
(E) employers to retain all older workers

Please see DOUBT in spoiler before giving answers
[spoiler]Both B(passive) and E(active) are grammatically correct BUT shouldn't B(subjunctive) be used as meaning of sentence shows command[/spoiler]

B) ...legislation requiring that all older workers be...
This wording implies that ALL OLDER WORKERS are required to BE something. Not so: the legislation is directed not at older workers but at EMPLOYERS.

Does this mean that B is grammatically incorrect ?, in my view B is not wrong but uses passive voice

Please see similar ques where Stuart mentions that "When someone or thing is actually doing the requiring, we use the subjunctive tense "

The primary issue here is MEANING.
Please see my amended response above, in which I've fleshed out the reasoning.
Since this SC is from the OG11, the idiom requiring X to Y is an acceptable idiom on the GMAT.

Also:
Whereas the verbs in E -- to retain and [to] show -- are both active and thus parallel, the verbs in B -- be retained (passive) and show (active) -- are not.
