Is this ok?

Hello
Which of the following is correct?

A. I'm wondering if you made a reservation that will require me to arrive earlier.
B. I'm wondering if you made a reservation requiring that I arrive earlier.
C. Both are correct.

Also, is this correct?
A. "me' is the direct object of "will require," and "to arrive earlier" is an object complement
B. "requiring" acts a a subjunctive which requires the use of I "arrive," and no direct object should be used.

Thanks
