正解: B) be
Verbs expressing demand or suggestion — request, suggest, recommend, insist, and others — are followed by a that-clause whose verb takes the base form (the subjunctive mood). So 'be' is correct. 'Are' and 'were' carry ordinary tense and don't fit this construction. 'Being' is a participle and can't serve as the main verb. This follows the same pattern as 'It is essential that...'.
