A. has the right to an education and protection
Has is incorrect in this instance. Because of "demanded that" it needs to be "have" instead.
B. have the right to an education and be protected
This choice is not parallel. "Education" is a noun, while "protected" is a verb.
C. will have the right to an education and protection
Using "will" implies that every child in the future will have a right to an education and protection, which doesn't pair with the "demanded".
D. have the right to an education and protection
"Have" links with "demanded that". "Education" and "protection" are both nouns, which makes this choice parallel.
E. have the right to be educated and protection
This choice is not parallel. "to be educated" is a very, while "protection" is a noun.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
At a convention held by UNICEF, Gabriella Arrieta, a young girl from Bolivia, demanded that every child has the right to an education and protection from violence.
A. has the right to an education and protection
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. Demand is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after demanded that should be in base form. However, has is not in base form.
What helps us identify this question as a Subjunctive question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- propose/recommend/require/request/insist/suggest/mandate/ask/demand that
Whenever you come across this Stop Sign, make sure that the following verb is in its base form.
B. have the right to an education and be protected
Although this answer choice corrects the original Subjunctive error by replacing the conjugated verb has with the base form have, it makes a Parallelism mistake and is grammatically incorrect. The construction A and B requires that A and B belong to the same part of speech. In this answer choice, A is a noun (education) whereas B is a verb (be).
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- A and/or/but B
C. will have the right to an education and protection
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect and repeats the original Subjunctive error. Demand is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after demanded that should be in base form. However, will have is not in base form.

D. have the right to an education and protection
Demand is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after demanded that should be in base form. This answer choice correctly uses have.
E. have the right to be educated and protection

The construction A and B requires that A and B belong to the same part of speech. In this answer choice, A is a verb (be) whereas B is a noun (protection).
