The setting of a story effects the story's plot.

A. effects the story's plot

C. affect the story's plot
D. affects the story's plot
E. affects the story's plots

OA after sometime!

I think instead of effect it should be affect, which leaves us with C,D and E.
Singular 'setting' means C is out (affect which is plural).
We are talking about 1 story only so it should be plot and not plots, which leaves us with D.

Is D OA?
