Official Explanation

In this example, there is a lack of agreement in number between the subject (phenomena) and the verb (is) because phenomena is plural (phenomenon is singular).

The same error eliminates choices (B) and (E) (“a phenomena” is incorrect).

Choice (C) is redundant (“the workings of democracy work”). The general rule is that a singular subject requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb.

The correct answer is (D).
