142. In one of the most stunning reversals in the history of marketing, the Coca-Cola company in July 1985 yielded to thousands of irate consumers demanding that it should bring back the original Coke formula.
demanding that it should
demanding it to
and their demand to
who demanded that it
who demanded it to

Choice D, the best answer, uses the grammatically correct expression demanded that it bring back, in which demanded that it is followed by the subjunctive verb bring. Choice A incorrectly uses should bring rather than bring: demanding that already conveys the idea of "should," and at any rate a modal auxiliary verb, such as should or must, cannot gram­matically follow the expression demanded that. Similarly, B and E use the ungrammatical expression demanding/demanded it to. In C, the expression yielded to... customers and their demand to bring... unnecessarily states that the company yielded to the customers as well as to their demand. This expression also fails to specify that the company is expected to bring back the original formula.

我觉得C中的错误只是demand应该改成demands

对og的解释我觉得很牵强呢，yield to demand 也是可以的阿，最后一句解释我也觉得牵强，我觉得C也表现出了这个意思啊

希望大家指点一下，谢谢

C changes the original meaning.  Coca-cola yielded to the particular consumer demand of bringing back the formula.  C says Coca-cola yielded to the consumers AND their demand.

Hope that helps
