The best/excellent answers get kudos. There can be no best answer, or a few excellent answers! Since
"insist" is used in the sentence, subjunctive mood must be used i.e.
"insist" must be followed by "that". Options
B and
C are eliminated since these options don't have a "that" after insist.
In option
D,
".....is the amalgamation of..." is illogical. The correct construction is
"...amalgamation through...". Hence eliminated.
In option
E, parallelism is violated. The correct construction is
"..to provide X is to amalgamate Y...". The original sentence doesn't have any error and uses the correct construction. Hence
A should be the answer.
