choice A
demand that " dose not require "should". you can see "should" after "demand" in English English. but this point is not ok to gmat
choice b
demand him that he. it is redundant to have both "him" and "he". even it is not idiomatic to say that "demand sombody that sombody do".
second thing is that "were demanding" is not needed. we need a clear reason for using progressive. no clear reason, do not use it.
choice D
there is no past point of time to use had done
choice E
"demand for him to" is not idiomatic.

"Demanded that" is one of the GMAT's rare Subjunctive "bossy verb" structures.
The structure always goes: BOSSY VERB + that + infinitive verb (without the "to")
Only (A) and (D) include the word "that," and of those two, only (C) includes the infinitive verb structure without the word "to" -- we don't need this extra word "should" when we have the subjunctive form.
DEMANDED THAT he SHAVE is what we want since "shave" would be the infinitive verb "to shave" with the preposition "to" dropped.
The correct answer is (C).
More "bossy verbs" to memorize:
-require THAT
-mandate THAT
-recommend THAT
-propose THAT
-request THAT
-asks THAT
-request THAT
