B&E can be eliminated because of faulty comparison, ie “with a seatbelt on” compared with “if the seat belt were off”

Although each is singular, the word “requires”
in the second clause indicates subjunctive mood, hence the verb must be plural. With that info A can be eliminated.

Between C&D, the word “requires” already means something must be done. hence the word “must” is redundant in C, Hence the clear winner is D
