We have the command subjunctive here. To be more precise, it is the case when verbs only take infinitive. Such verbs include permit, advise, allow, want, persuade, forbid.

The structure of the sentence is: PERMIT sth/someone TO

In our case: PERMITS [compensating state governments for damage] TO

Does this makes sense to you?

If we use the elimination method we can discard C, D and E for redundancy (they feature both give +compensation); on the contrary, A and B use a single verb to describe that action.

B is incorrect because of the parallelism issue: 'damaging' v.s 'claims (in order to be parallel, it should be 'for claiming').
"Commitment is more than just wishing for the right conditions. Commitment is working with what you have."
