I think the answer is B.

Here is why:

[spoiler]Answers D and E are out since there the word "that" has to be after "require." In this case, "to require for" is unidiomatic, so we can eliminate C. This leaves us with A and B. A is unnecessarily wordy, so I would choose B.[/spoiler]

"should" should not follow requires...which is already confirming the condition...
"b" is correct

I'll go with Choice B

Correct idiom should be "requires that" hence we are left with choice A and B. Word "should " is redundant in choice A.
