In the explanation of why answer choice E is wrong, saying that '"they" is also arguably a bit ambiguous.' would also be applicable to the correct answer

Can someone please explain why E is incorrect?
If the law was not proposed or already in place, then it was acceptable to say "a law would do blah..blah to curb fraud", as then it was a hypothetical situation.
But in this case, a law is already proposed. It means that the proposed law already has some ways drafted to curb fraud.
It is not hypothetical.
So, shouldn't the correct option use the present tense 'requires'?

Also correctly pointed out by felipetakaoka the explanation regarding the explanation for the usage of 'They'.

The law is proposed not implemented. If law were passed and were in use then "is" would have been correct.
How would you use present tense verb with a subject whose existence is not there. Law comes into existence only when it is passed not when it is drafted.

Check this:
they vote to curb potential fraud

Are they voting to curb potential fraud? -- No

Meaning of question stem - a proposed law would require something - why? - reason - to curb potential fraud.
So, B changes the meaning completely. Hence incorrect.

Hope that helps.
