Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers' fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.

(A) investment officers' fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began

(B) investment officers' fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun

(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun

(E) that investment officers' fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

OA: D

i narrowed down to C and D and chose the right answer!
still, i would like to clarify the use of "allow" and what's wrong with other options and particularly C!

thank u so much (:

A, B and E are incorrect because they use the past simple form "began" and the sentence should use the present perfect. It starts with "since 1986" and this time reference clearly calls for the present perfect form.
C and E are incorrect because they use the stylistically incorrect form "allow THAT." The correct form should "allow + noun" (answer D "allow FEES").
Answer D is correct.
