I am beaten by this dude. How can "suggests" be used here in option D?

I thought that there are 3 subjects here. "Phyllis ... solar imagery", "Judeo Christian..." and "images borrowed". All these should "suggest" and not "suggests".

All the "things" "suggests" is itself wrong. Be it a group also. Because we are referring to 3 groups here which makes the subject as plural.

I am also perplexed! How can it be suggests?
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group

My only explanation for the use of suggests refers back to the singular subject Phyllis Wheatley's blending. It may make more sense if read Phyllis Wheatley's blending... suggests. Other than that, this is quite a question!

I am also confused how suggests is correct here....

IMO the subject here is....."blending and images...."...please correct me if I am wrong here.
