The answer is E
Split 1
Verb-ing modifier modifies regulation so it is no a main verb .
Split 2
The sentence is in subjunctive mood so we have to use bare infinitive form of the verb .

Hi, thanks for the post!

Could someone explain why E and not D? How can a regulation recquire? Isn't it supposed to be the people who wrote it who require? Thus D?

A. requiring that children should be immunized- should be is not required as there should not be any modal verb(could, should,etc) before the bare verb.
B. that require children's being immunized- Incorrect use of the word children
C. which require the immunization of children- Doesn't comply with the rule of Subjunctives.
D. to require immunization of the children- It doesn't sound correct.
E. requiring that children be immunized- Any helping verb should be removed, it is perfectly done in this sentence.

Official Answer:- Option E.

Thanks! :thumbup:
