OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
D
The first glaring error in the initial sentence is the idiom "decided of". That's wrong; among the choices, "decided that" is the only acceptable alternative. ("Decided to" or "decided on" can also be correct, depending on context.) That eliminates (A), (C), and (E).
Of the remaining choices, (B) is incorrect. That choice makes it sound that Walker and his band decided that bluegrass expanded. That doesn't make sense; if anything they would decide that bluegrass could expand, not that it had already done something. By contrast, (D) makes things much more clear. The use of "which" indicates that it is bluegrass that "has continued to expand", without suggesting that it is expanding simply because of Walker's decision. Choice (D) is correct.
