The point to note here is that the subjunctive mood has set in because it is the tutor who recommends. A tutor’s recommendation is gospel.Consequently, we have to use the imperative form of the verb that brings out a command. Therefore, D is good enough. On the contrary, B, by using the word ‘should’, talks of recommendation as if it is a suggestion, which is not the intent here. So, be is wrong.
We cannot say overall, a recommendation is not a command. It depends upon who makes that. If it is a recommendation or advice by the RBI, it is a command to all banks. If the Supreme Court recommends, it is a command to all lower courts. If the president advises it is a command.
B will not be subjunctive if it was Lucky’s friend who recommended that he should practice etc. After all, Lucky is not bound to heed his friend’s advice.

Using "recommends" and "should" is redundant. Eliminate A and B.
"That" must follow the "and" to ensure parallelism. Eliminate C and E.
The correct answer is D.
"That" must follow the "and" to ensure parallelism. Eliminate C and E.
