Educators

That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.
(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault
(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault
(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology
(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said

I am confused between B and D. Can someone tell me which is correct answer and why

Hi,


This sentence has to do more with the style.

The sentence intends to say that though educators have not anticipated the impact of micor........., still we cant blame them............

Now between B and D ....its D that wins........

cos.......B suggests that ....a clause can't be said to be at fault.....
while D corrects this .......

D it is, because in B, we need a "who" to make the sentence complete.
