between B and D i am in inclining towards D.
performance of the funds they manage is correct and I think "have begun" should be used as this happened after the Dept of Labor's action.

To me .. D looks a better choice ... coz we are talking about a thing in the past which is continuing in the present too...

(A) investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began
(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began
(C) 'that' is unescessary
(D) suggests fees manager the funds
(E) 'that' is unescessary
Between A and B, go with B. (A) is a lengthy version of (B).

I feel D is answer.
I have a doubt can a pronoun refer to possesive noun.
In A,B,E 'they' refers to investment officer's fees and not to investment officer.
A,B,E fall in one group and C and D in other.
C is eliminated because that is not required.

^ D ^
We need present perfect here as we have "since". (We are talking about the time from 1986 up to now)
So we are left with C and D.
>> we have such a usage as "allow X to do sth". So, D is the answer.
Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.

(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun
(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun
with since, it needs "have...........".
Between C and D, D is better...

what threw me off in this question is who are "THEY"? Dep of Labor, investment officers (couldn't be, due to possessive) or the fees???
I chose B  but OA is D... selene, nice point about "since"!!! I totally didn't see it, otherwise would have chosen the correct one

I chose B beacuse D has "...have begun" which looked incorrect to me.
