Ans is - D

John's shop is across the raod

so after possessive we need a proper noun; and possesive always says about condition whose is belong to this.
thus we can eliminate -A, B
New jersey can not report so eliminate -E
New jersey can not has a report eliminate-C

so we pick -D
and - one of the numbers is not wrong.
one of + superlative/plural
e.g :One of the boys (plural) is ill
