The Fifth Council of the Lateran, an ecclesiastical council of the Catholic Church, held between 1512 and 1517, called for reforms including the education of priests and expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France including the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges.

(A) including the education of priests and expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France including the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges - "expansion of the Holy See’s influence" is not a reform
(B) that included the education of priests, and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France to include the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges - This version presents everything as a list which is not parallel and, therefore, it is not a sentence.
(C) with the education of priests included and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France to include the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges - reforms were not "with the education of priests" but the reforms included "the education of priests" and "expansion to include" doesn't make sense
(D) to include the education of priests and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France with the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges included - "called for expansion with the confirmation" does not make sense.
(E) that included the education of priests and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France through the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges - The Fifth Council of the Lateran called for:
(1) reforms
(2) expansion

"through the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges" explains how they called for expansion.

(A) including the education of priests and expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France including the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges => 2 "including" make the sentence awkward and less concise.=> OUT

(B) that included the education of priests, and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France to include the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges => this formulation is less concise and the parallelism is not clear here => OUT

(C) with the education of priests included and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France to include the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges => lack of parallelism in the structure=> OUT
(D) to include the education of priests and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France with the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges included => seems the best option.
(E) that included the education of priests and for expansion of the Holy See’s influence in France through the confirmation of the Concordat of Bologna and abrogation of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges=> change of meaning with the use of "through the confirmation of the condorcat..."=> OUT

So answer D
