To set the context, the sentence is trying to compare two actions - forcing a person and denying.
Errors: Parallelism and Pronoun.
Option A (incorrect): To force a 'person'...because 'they' is wrong (antecedent for 'they' should be plural). Denying is a verb and should have parallel construction with 'forcing'.
Option B (incorrect): Pronoun error (as explained for options A).
Option C (incorrect): Parallel construction error of 'forcing' and 'to deny'.
Option D (CORRECT): Corrects pronoun and parallelism error.
Option E (incorrect): Parallelism error.
