Since 1992, when the board of directors voted to allow inside salespeople's commissions to be based on how the entire department performs as a whole, several regional offices began setting department goals prohibitively high, with a goal to incite individual competition and prevent against freeloading.

Simple one. Took 47 sec.
Since 1992 in the beginning indicates a present perfect tense. Eliminate A, B, and E.
Allow A to be B is a correct idiom. Subjunctive form is never used with verbs advise, allow, forbid, persuade and want. These verbs are always followed by preposition to. Eliminate C.
Ans. D

A Present perfect is needed.
B Present perfect is needed.
C "voted to allow that the commission.." is awkward.
D Correctly uses present perfect. Modifier is grammatically correct
E began -- Present perfect is needed. Wrong
