that a consumer reporting agency exercise their responsibility to maintain con�dentiality ( should be its instead of their)

a consumer reporting agency to exercise its responsibility and maintaining con�dentiality ( because of subjunstive, it should be " agency sexercise its responsibility to maintain)

that a consumer reporting agency had exercised its responsibility to maintain con�dentiality

that consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibility to maintain con�dentiality ( isnt "consumer" is singular noun? it sounds like this answer choice has problem but its better than others)

a consumer reporting agency that it should exercise its responsibility to maintain con�dentiality ( and wordy)
