It has to be "C".
This is subjunctive mood SC. All other choices fail to keep the mood.

C.
Some of the options suggest that parents be restrained...  ...every child's dream come true.

It s C indeed.
I still don't understand how the sentence can make sense (THE THAT):
Concerned at the increase in accident fatalities, Tennessee adopted a child-passenger protection law requiring the that parents restrain children under four years of age in a child safety seat.

Late but ^ C ^
It is subjunctive. require + that + sb + V1

I picked C. Some of the choices imply (inlcuding A) that parents should be restrained in the car-seat.

"..... require + the + that + sb ....." doesnot make any sense but looking your answer choices you forget to underline "the", the one that you are talking. Now, ".... require + that + sb + V1" perfectly make sense. karlfurt wrote: Concerned at the increase in accident fatalities, Tennessee adopted a child-passenger protection law requiring the parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat.

I didn't forget to underligne, I just copied it as it is in my test sheets.
This was the reason why I didn't choose that option. But the OA is C, I have to assume they have done a mistake, since you all gave the right answer without wondering if there could be something wrong.
bravo!

In choice A you have "the" at the beginning. That means it should have also been underlined..

It's clear from choice "A" that it's a mistake, "the" should be included in the underlined portion.
