There are two errors: (1) S-V agreement, (2) comparison
(1) S-V agreement:
Considered to be one of the brightest upcoming legal scholars, Douglas Kysar has written countless articles on environmental law and policy; his writings, which include a book with renowned law professor Daniel Esty, is cited more often than most other young legal scholars.
The blue part is a non-essential modifier which modifies his writings
If we remove the modifier, the sentence stands like - his writings is cited more often than most other young legal scholars.
So, we need are instead of is.
(2) Comparison: We need to compare his writings with the writings of other young scholars.
In the original sentence the comparison is drawn between his writings and most other young legal scholars which is illogical.
The correct comparison is "his writings and those of[writings of] other scholars
D corrects both the errors. Hence, D is the answer.
