I will also go with D but is the use of "THAT" really required here?

I go with D.
I think B needs a comma to be grammatically correct (sounds silly right)

D. more closely integrated than ever before and that
Its a Idiom (more than ever before) + Parallelism

D it is.
Original has a split infinitive?
"integrated more closely" isnt as appealing as " more closely integrated"
and also "that......" and "that......" is a test of parallelism of clauses.

(A) integrated more closely than never before and - we need "ever" instead of "never", and "that" after "and"
(B) closely integrated more than ever before so - badly constructed
(C) more closely integrated as never before while - no good
(D) more closely integrated than ever before and that - nice one
(E) more than ever before closely integrated as - out |
