It's a beautiful question.
We can eliminate option A and C as there's SV error.

Options B and E are incorrect because they indicate that 'Maricopa county......overtaking in Texas'. The original meaning is that 'Maricopa county in Arizona.....overtaking in Harris county in Texas'.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D. :)
