jangojess, being very frank I also chosed D at first. But man there is a story - D is saying that - Written by Michael Crichton and first printed in 1988, Jurassic Park It is indicating that Jurassic Park written by Michael Crichton and Michael Crichton was first published in 1988. I think so! And leaving D, there is only other option to chose and that is B.
Correct me If I am wrong

Actually Amitava, there is nothing grammatically wrong with B or D that I can see. It's a matter of sentence order, and that's a matter of preference. It is arguable that it is more clear to place a dependent phrase/antecedent after the simple subject, but it really can be done either way.
I was say that this is a bogus test question. What is the source?
