Hi Sandy,

You are correct. The answer should not be A. It should be D.

What is the source of this question? This question seems very similar to an official question. Infact we were just having a discussion about this question 1-2 days back. As you can see choice D is the correct for the official question.

Hope this helps.

"Being" is almost always incorrect in a GMAT sentence. I think answer should be C
