:?
I kind of did not like the double repetition of "would" in D.
Ex: I would have done it if it helped me --> would + conditional clause
Ex: I would have done it if it would have helped me --> I believe double use of would is wrong.

I think A is right and I agree with OA. This has to do indeed with subjunctive mood - giving a command "said that it must".

This was a tricky one.
