D: meaning changed, parallelism sacrificed

The proposed ordinance on the Employees Provident Fund will give more regulatory teeth to the enforcement agencies, widen the ambit of coverage to workers in the unorganized sectors like construction and domestic help and to migratory laborers often changing jobs, who may not be covered at all.
(A) widen the ambit of coverage to workers in the unorganized sectors like construction and domestic help and to migratory laborers often changing jobs, who
widen is wrong here as there is a cause and effect relationship in the sentence so it should be widening. Also usage of like is incorrect here. As we are presenting examples here so we should "such as" instead of like.
(B) widening the ambit of coverage to workers in the unorganized sectors such as construction and domestic help and to migratory laborers who often change jobs and who
Correct choice
(C) to widen the ambit of coverage to workers in the unorganized sectors such as construction and domestic help and to migratory laborers often changing jobs, that
to widen is not the correct way to show cause and effect relationship. We have to have a modifier here in verb-ing form. "may not be covered at all" is actually meant for laborers so correct word to refer to laborers is 'who' rather than 'that'.
(D) for widening the ambit of coverage to workers in the unorganized sectors such as construction and domestic help, to migratory laborers often changing jobs, and who
"for widening" is wrong as here as it somewhat gives that teeth is for widening but there should be cause and effect relationship between widening and teeth. Also and before "who" is wrong.
(E) so as to widen the ambit of coverage to workers in the unorganized sectors such as construction and domestic help and to migratory laborers often changing jobs, which
"so as to" is unidiomatic. Also usage of which is wrong for laborers.
