Hey Ron,
(C) that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and (to)spend

I have a doubt on wrong option C.

As I have indicated above I fell into a trap trying to parallel the part in red above.

Option D instead uses a ing modifier to indicate the second part of what the policy requires of doctors.

My question considering your earlier explanation on page 1 of this thread : Do we push "spend" to an 'ing' modier only because we CANNOT have all the 3 actions here in parallel ? In other words is a change in parallelism must to indicate the specific hierarchy of events in any similar construction ?

you may be overthinking this issue.
if you have a parallel construction of verbs ("VERB1 and VERB2", "VERB1, VERB2, and VERB3", etc.), then all of the verbs must have the same subject.

in this case, the subject of spend must be doctors, but the subject of each of the other two verbs must be insurance plans.
