o, I can demand that you do something, but I don't demand that you should do something. If I'm demanding it, I'm not saying I think you should do it. I'm telling you to do it. Choice A is wrong for this reason.

Also, I can demand that you do something, but I don't demand you do something - I need the "that" in there because I am "demanding that you do the entire statement. I'm not just "demanding you." Choice B is wrong for this reason.

C is wrong because the "and" seems to indicate some kind of separation between the two parts (before and after the and) but they are connected.

D is the right answer. "Who" indicates a noun modifier, which is correctly placed (right next to the noun it modifies - consumers). Again, I demand that you do something, so this is right.

E is wrong because "that" is missing. "That" is necessary, as described above.
