It should be D. You cannot reduce the amount of phosphates that 'had been allowed' because that dumping has already been done. You can only reduce the amount that can be dumped from now on. Only D makes it clear.

it should be A

"had been" means it reduced the amount that was allowed before 1972
"are" means amount is still same as that reduced in 1972
But there might be further reduction after 1972. So "had been" is correct

Can a MGMAT instructor please explain this?

Correct ans is D
D. that municipalities are allowed to dump

Why is it are instead of had been?

The agreement reduced the amount of dumping allowed before 1972, so shouldn't it be had been?
