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.
