Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles. (A) requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect (B) requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting (C) that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets protect (D) to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets are protecting (E) to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting https://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/29/us/vietnamese-join-us-shrimp-fishermen-in-protest.html Dean M. Wilkinson, wildlife legislative director for Greenpeace, an environmental group, did not dispute that. ''Each shrimp boat probably doesn't catch more than a few turtles a year,'' he said. ''But when you spread that out across a 17,000-boat fleet, it adds up to big numbers. And we're talking about animals that are on the edge of extinction.'' Environmentalists estimate the total number of Kemp's ridleys at not more than 10,000, including less than 600 nesting females. Mr. Wilkinson said that the protest over the use of the devices was based largely on misinformation. He said that an earlier design for these turtle excluder devices was bulky and did decimate the shrimp catch, but added, ''There are now 300 boats using TED's and they say it's not hurting them.'' Tee John Mialjevich, a Louisiana shrimper who is a protest leader, said that should a law requiring the use of devices be enacted , he and many other fishermen would disobey it. The Vietnamese shrimpers, however, said they were not certain they would participate in an illegal protest. ''We don't know yet what we'd do,'' Mr. Huy said. ''We'd have to see. But now we are doing this, which we are allowed to do.''

In the correct option B we are not using the subjunctive verb after seeing the word - "requiring".
Is it okay to not use the subjunctive verb format of 'that + subject+base verb"

It is necessary to use the subjunctive verb only when you are introducing a clause after the verb.
For example,

I require that work be done.

I require a big raise.

Both are fine. The first one required a subjuntive verb because a clause is being introduced. The second one, however, did not require a base verb because no clause was introduced. In that case the verb was followed by a noun (object).

In this context, there's no practical difference between the meanings conveyed via those two ways of wording that portion of the sentence.
