*will have responsibilities that include
* will be responsible to pay
* is responsible to pay
* will be responsible for paying
* is responsible for paying Wow, I though E would be the answer.

very good question. I fell for B because I didnt know the idioms.
The correct idioms are;
"responsible for" --> The termites were responsible for the damage
"responsibility to" --> It was his responsibility to take care of himself.
Hence D.

*will have responsibilities that include
* will be responsible to pay
* is responsible to pay
* will be responsible for paying
* is responsible for paying Wow, I though E would be the answer. Its a statement referring to an act in the future so "is" present tense is ruled out

responsible to / responsible for. responsible for means accountable for. Hence D please elaborate why not E .. I reckon ... the use of word "will " is critical here .. Will denotes a command / authority .... am I correcr or is it the simple usage of future tense ?? regards

for will have ... then there should be would in the if clause.

idiomatic my answer is D "responsible to" refers to people, e.g. The company should be responsible to its clients all the time. "responsible for" refers to actions/things, e.g. Members who post questions on gmatclub are responsible for providing the official answers.
