Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

After 'requirement that', we need the subjunctive mood, which uses the base form of the verb. The phrase should be 'write a thesis' not 'should write a thesis'. Using 'should' is redundant in a subjunctive construction - the subjunctive itself implies necessity or obligation.
