OA: B
A:
i) Grammatically fine but meaning wise incorrect since it doesn't capture the tendency of accredited travel agents to secure repeat business.
ii) Tense mismatch: They do so is incorrect it should be they did so
C:
i) Same as A i)
ii) for providing is idiomatically incorrect
iii) it usage for the act of providing advice is incorrect
D:
i) Same as A i)
ii) Use of subjunctive distorts meaning
iii) The usage of had implies that first they used to provide advice then they were not really required to provide the advice. This is not the case and thus blatant meaning distortion
E)
i) Same as A i)
ii) Had not had implies that they first weren't required to provide advice but then they provided advice for repeat business. Also past perfect tense is used to denote an event in past before another even in past but in this option there aren't 2 events in past.
iii) Tense mismatch: Both past perfect & simple present tense in one sentence is incorrect usage
iv) Same as C iii)
A:

A. were not required to provide advice pertaining to hotels and entertainment when they were organizing travel packages, but many do so
--> The sentence refers to something that happens but "were" in the beginning leads to the past tense, a completed action
B. are not required to provide advice pertaining to hotels and entertainment when they organize travel packages, but many do so
--> Correct
C. were not required for providing hotel and entertainment advice when they organized travel packages, but many do it
--> The sentence refers to something that happens but "were" in the beginning leads to the past tense, a completed action. "do it" is incorrect as it would not refer to an action.
D. were not required that they provide advice pertaining to hotels and entertainment when they organized travel packages, but many had been doing so
--> Isn't particularly incorrect. But the original sentence refers to a present context and we have an answer that conforms to that.
E. had not had the requirement for them to provide advice pertaining to hotels and entertainment when they organize travel packages, but many do it
--> "had not had" is an awkward construction. The sentence starts with past perfect and goes on to the present. Faulty construction.
