Between A and D. I choose A.
D >> "in an assessment" says that assessment might already be over. And it seems like we are talking about one particular assessment, not in general.
However, A says that during the process of assessing the problems...which looks more apt to me.

wonderful question!
Well A is wrong. In simple words, whenever you see a sentence with 'ing' somewhere in the beginning be cautious about modifier for in such cases you certainly need a subject that will accept the modification
This is dangling modifier error on the GMAT
While fighting a battle, using strategy to beat the enemy is important is incorrect {Who is going to use strategy? Enemy himself? I mean anybody could! This is ambiguity and is not acceptable in grammar (just like pronoun error!)} While fighting a battle, one should know how to use strategy to beat one's enemy is correct
This sentence reads in assessing the problems, the question... When you are expecting a subject to come in and accept the modification, you have the question wrongly placed. So this is wrong!
D it is!
