You may be thinking of the use of "that" to create a noun modifier. In those cases, if the meaning is clear, "that" may not be needed. For instance, in the sentence "The book that she wanted is on sale," we can probably leave out "that" without causing trouble. However, even in this case, I'd keep "that" if given a choice.
As for the use of "that" to introduce a new clause ("it hampers the ability"), this is typically necessary. It's tough to start a new independent clause without some kind of break between the old clause and the new. A conjunction (that, and, or) is the most common way to achieve this, although we can also use a semicolon. I can't think of a case where we can afford to cut the conjunction and jump right in.

Hello rinkuda,
We hope this finds you well.
Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubt.
As mentioned by DmitryFarber, if "that" is part of a noun modifier and the meaning of the modifier is not distorted by its absence, "that" can be omitted.
In this case, "that" cannot be omitted because it is part of the idiomatic construction "so + cause ("brisk") + that + effect ("it hampoers...")".
We hope this helps.
All the best!

Hi AhmedMoharam89,
It is and that joins those two infinitives:
1. the ability of some children to distinguish discrete sounds and words and, as a result, to make sense of speech
There are multiple problems in your version of option D. Ability for distinguishing is not idiomatic, and results in not making is, at a minimum, extremely awkward.
