Question: Over the last decade, the U.S. has seen an increase in voter turnout and experienced an overall increase in the participation of its citizens in politics.

A. experienced an overall increase in the participation of its citizens in politics.
B. has experienced an overall increase in the participation of their citizens in politics.
C. experienced an overall increase in the participation in politics of their citizens.
D. has experienced an overall increase in politics regarding the participation of its citizens.
E. have experienced an overall increase in citizens participating in politics.

OA: (A)

Try to break it down it together. Thanks in advance.
B is incorrect because of the plural pronoun "their". Should be "its"
C is incorrect for the same reason. Moreover, the construction is very awkward.
D is incorrect as it is wordier and there is a subtle change in the meaning of the sentence.
E is incorrect because of "have"

Please use spoiler for the OA. It is difficult to approach the question when you already know the answer

D is wordy in comparison to A. I will go with A.
