Got a portion of the sentence that's between two commas and none of it is underlined? That section is frequently a "non-essential clause" and just gives information about the noun immediately preceding the first comma. See if you can re-read the sentence omitting that entire section. Also, if some of the underlined portion is unchanged in the answer choices, imagine the underlined portion not including that part. Is this SC question easier? Cool, it's the same question.
Supercell is not visible in all thunderstorms because they require very high wind velocity and moisture.
(A) they require
(B) they will require
(C) it will require
(D) it requires
(E) it is requiring
"Supercell IS not visible," so supercell is singular. Get rid of A and B for "they," which is plural.
We don't need future or present progressive tense for require. Get rid of C and E.
Answer choice D.

Official Explanation:
In this sentence, options A and B get eliminated because the plural they cannot refer to the singular Supercell.
Option C unnecessarily uses the future tense will to refer to a fact.
Between Options D and E, avoid the continuous tense is requiring in E because this only refers to the current action whereas we are making a general statement of truth about Supercell; hence, the simple present tense in D should be the correct answer.
