Official Explanation

In the original sentence, two main clauses are incorrectly separated only by a comma, without an appropriate connecting word after the comma. Choice (D) inserts the word and, which makes sense in context—providing an appropriate rhetorical balance between the ideas in the two clauses.

The correct answer is (D).
