split : they vs these individuals , ofcourse these individuals is better as they can refer to other nouns as well
This bing us to B and D. D is better as it provides right parallel structure.While in B after last 'and' structure is not parallel.

hope it helps.

This one is easy.
Only 1 split. Higgins contends that .......,and that


To present the meaning parallelism is very important.
Since the Higgins is contending 2 things , it is better to show in parallel str.

2nd split individuals who have.... and who have

Since both individuals are different not necessarily the same , we need to use 'who have' again.
