What we need ...

What we need to make people realize drug-taking is self- destructive.
A. is B. is that C. was D. was that

The answer is "B. is that". Why not "A. is"? I can't make sense of it.
Who can help me get out of this? Many thanks in advance.

Yes, it is clear now. The question is poorly conceived, because A is also possible. B is much better style; A leaves the reader confused about the sentence structure for a moment.
