I understand that D is the only correct option. But what about an agreement between "a single set" and "run"? Does it have to be 'runs' to comply with a singular subject?

In the original question (OG2022- Wiley efficient learning application), the correct choice (official answer) is D with a significant difference that made it difficult for me to choose the correct option. Option D is stated as " which has a single set of strings that RUNS parallel to the front edge of the instrument, the harpischord has several sets of strings". Is it a typo??

You're right, "run" doesn't work with "set." Because the verb is plural, "that run parallel to the front edge" MUST modify a plural noun.
Luckily, there's a plural noun (strings) right next to the noun modifier ("that run parallel..."). And since the strings themselves can certainly run parallel to the front edge of the instrument, the modifier and its verb make perfect sense.
You'll find more on this point earlier in the thread:
