The solution has been properly explained, but someone earlier mentioned how "have" was there instead of "has" indicating plurality.
The subject of the sentence is "A group," which means the sentence must be correct with all descriptive phrases cut out. "A group...believes that..." is clearly correct. That leaves the descriptive phrase to be selfcontained, however. In "students who have," the "have" is describing the students who make up the group, not the group itself, and thus is correct. Don't let the mix of plurality and singularity mislead you!

The only possible correct answer choices to this problem are A and D. The idiom not X but Y requires parallelism between X and Y.
Option B is not parallel
believe that the park needs to not be redesigned(X) but to be returned. The first to needs to be after not.
Between A and D, a group of .. can be singular or plural, depending on what you want to emphasize.
If you want to emphasize on the action use the plural form. If you want to emphasize on the group use the singular form.
I think that here the correct answer choice is A because all the group believe the same thing so the author emphasizes on the group.

The correct answer choice uses plural because the proportion of women work in different jobs in the same industry.
