In the correct answer, how is 'demanded' correct ? Since the foundational oath is still present, as an event for people to go through, it should be in simple present ?

I don't know whether is the correct idiom, but for me sounds better refer to x as y(i know i shouldn't make a decision based on sound). so C and D are out.
In E, demanding is modifying critics. Hence, E is out.
Now between A and B i have a problem. I choose B, which is incorrect. Most relevant difference between them is "swear never to reveal" and "swore to never reveal". Can someone explain this please?
and also is there any difference between the last part: "including the penalty itself" vs. "which included the penalty itself"? are both modifying "the ceremony"?
