take some credit for the resurgence of the rare

laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on
shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.

shrimp nets protect

is protecting
(C) that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp
nets protect
(D) to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets

Usually the words before "to" will give you a hint about its function when it comes before a verb (since it can't be an infinitive when it doesn't come before a verb). Some verbs generate infinitives, and infinitives can also be used as noun phrases; I wish I had a better answer than "learn about when infinitives get used, in a more detailed way" but unfortunately I can't think of a simple algorithm for infinitive-detection.

Jim , Below is a sentence in which , i think , to is used as a preposition
His plans to conquer the city dashed, Alexander decided against advancing any further .
But " to is followed by a verb,yet to is not an infinitive here
