hi
this question tests the subjunctive mood because of the usage of 'recommends' and therefore should contain 'be' form of verb...
only D uses that so ans D..
Hi, I have a question. Though option D is correct one, but still what could be the biggest drawback in option B apart from subjunctive verb form (in case during exam someone misses to see subjunctive verb form error

). Please reply. Thank you.
hi anitesh,
ill just touch upon choice B....

B) Lucky should put in at least two hours of practice everyday and
thatt he should not practice questions indiscriminately
1) the 'that' in underlined portion parallels it to that in first nonunderlined portion, resulting in following
a) the 'he' does not have proper antecedents. who does 'he' refer to.. logically it refers to tutor....
b) the underlined portion is a methodology to score well in GMAT but due to use of that does not refer back to doing well but just acts as a recommendation of lucky's tutor..

and i just realized the same reasoning makes D also incorrect... A seems correct in all criterion mentioned but usage of should is redundant as it is subjunctive mood.. it still may be the best answer available...
