You are correct, lakshya14: Parallelism is not a concern in (B). I commented on (C) and (E) earlier because it seemed appropriate for that post. Choice (B) presents another problem, though. We have to be careful to avoid redundancy when the underlined portion operates within this to ensure framework, and ensure and must be cover the same semantic territory. A similar issue would result from a sentence like the following:
IDEA: Beachgoers must wear shoes on the beach.
INCORRECT: The rules require that beachgoers must wear shoes on the beach.
CORRECT: The rules require that beachgoers wear shoes on the beach.
CORRECT: The rules require beachgoers to wear shoes on the beach.
Likewise, in the question at hand, we need to consider the nature of the sentence to avoid needless repetition. Rules were established to ensure what, exactly? Although my first thought would not jump to would, I would feel comfortable seeking a safer alternative to an ensure + must be construct. That consideration alone helps us get rid of both (A) and (B), and parallelism can guide us through the rest of the options.
I hope that helps. Thank you for the follow-up.

Hi avigutman - Referring to my image, here is my analysis on C specifically. Just curious on your thoughts.
-- The modifier "before it was conducted" only refers to the Y element (the modifier in red has no impact on the X element)
-- The X element and the Y element in option C are both in the present tense (X element is present tense and passive | Y element is present tense but active voice)
-- The Y element (which is in the present tense), does not make sense with the modifier "before it was conducted" specifically.
-- If the experiminents are still conducted today [modifier in red tweake in option C variant - the X element and Y element canbe in the present tense]
-- Because the modifier "before it was conducted" is in the past tense (implying : the experiminets are NO LONGER conducted as of today) - the Y element in C cannot be in the present tense, instead the Y marker needs a "would"
