Between 'C' & 'E', I choose 'E'

(C) it is
passive voice needs to be avoided.

To maintain parallelism, we need to identify what the new rules "are" doing. That leaves us with C and E. E is in passive voice,
Hence, my choice is C.

First impression: The underline portion is not parallel with the rest of the statement.
b) same reason.
c) looks good.
d) same reason as b). "called for by new federal rules" is a modifier. We need a phrase in the form of "subject, verb" to make the because- and-because parallelism work.
e) a little wording. I'm unsure whether "federal rules" can do the calling.
I would pick c).
