The population of tigers in the National Park is increasing

Can you please point me to some resources regarding the above points that you have made.

Verbal experts please help me here..

In this question Option A is rejected because Pronoun "this" is without an accompanying noun or antecedent.

While in other question: https://gmatclub.com/forum/work-that-is ... 83408.html

Work that is not finished is not work at all, it is merely a botch, a failure.

A. all, it is merely a botch, a failure.
B. all, it is a botch merely, and a failure.
C. all; it is merely a botch, a failure.
D. all; the work merely is a botch and a failure.
E. all; the work being merely a botch, a failure

We are accepting Option C and I do not see accompanying noun.

How this is wrong:
The population of tigers in the National Park is increasing steadily, and this is a source of encouragement to those who have worked so hard to fund the conservation effort.

And this is right:
Work that is not finished is not work at all; it is merely a botch, a failure.

Please correct my understanding and help me conceptually.
