Imo D.
Interesting question.
It tests the concept of that used as a subject in the sentence.
In colloquial English that used as the subject is correct, but not in GMAT. It considers the use of that as subject wordy.
We have to use placeholder it to form a correct sentence. It postpones the subject.

Now that we have some background of the concept tested we can straight away eliminate A, B, and E.

C is clumsy and not the proper construction. It uses far more relative pronouns than necessary for forming a cogent sentence.

So is omitting Future from the original sentence OK?

I doubt it is a colloquial structure.
https://gmatclub.com/forum/out-of-a-growing-pride-in-the-region-s-pre-automotive-achievements-213015.html it is somewhat a colloquial structure.

In answer a, sentence starts with 'that', we can read it as 'the fact that future teacher do not........'
It doesnt really make sense to say future teacher do not always select ...
And moreover, the fact that (omit the middle part) cannot truly be said that ....also does not make sense
