When you see lots of clauses and phrases, think modification. The problem with D is the phrase "that involves the introduction of dye"; since that phrase immediately follows "coronary disease", that's what it modifies. However, that doesn't make any sense; we want that phrase to modify "coronary angiography". In C, we have a comma after disease, turning that whole clause into a parenthetical comment that we can ignore when evaluating the sentence. So, C actually reads: Quote: Coronary angiography, blah blah blah, involves the introduction of dye...
which is exactly what we want.

There is only one small problem with the question: you have to understand what it says - and that can be sometimes a tricky part for non-native english speakers. So for example, when you understand that the disease involves the introduction of a dye into the arteries, rather than the angiography, it is pretty easy to choose A and than just tap your forehead..
