Hi KarishmaB

I could not fathom the subjunctive verb used in the question statement. I think the verb should have been "allows" as the "board" is singular. Can you please through some light on why D is correct?

Hello thereisaFire,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, here, "allow" serves as the base form of the verb rather than as the plural form.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
