C. their members about the percentage of dues that are used for lobbying activities or they should
D. its members about the percentage of dues that are used for lobbying activities or it should
E. its members about the percentage of dues that is used for lobbying activities or to

eliminating A, C and D for parallelism errors, correct answer should be "either to ....or to"

eliminating B for using wrong pronoun "their"; organization should be referred to by "its" rather than "their"

E is the right answer

1. Organization --> use it. Left with D and E.
2. Either "to notify..." or "to pay..."

So, E is correct

A. their members about the percentage of dues that are used for lobbying activities or - “their” should be “its” because organisation is singular; also missing a “to” at the end to make “to notify” and “to pay” parallel
B. their members about the percentage of dues they use for lobbying activities or to - “their” should be “its”
C. their members about the percentage of dues that are used for lobbying activities or they should - “their” should be “its” and “they” should be “it”
D. its members about the percentage of dues that are used for lobbying activities or it should - “it should…” isn’t parallel with “to notify”
E. its members about the percentage of dues that is used for lobbying activities or to - looks good to me!
