9 The investigations of many psychologist and anthropologists support the generalization of there being little that is a significant difference in underlying mental processes manifested by people from different culture.
A of there being little that is a significant difference
B of there being little that is significantly different
C of little that is significantly different
D that there is little that is significantly different

CKA

IMO: D

The investigations ("noun")...support ("verb")...the generalization ("object") THAT ___

The idea is that there IS little. We need that second verb which C omits.

This actually reminds me of a similar question I just saw: https://www.beatthegmat.com/the-strand-f ... tml#375207

"little of...differences" doesn't make sense. We can say there is little that IS different, but we can't replace the adjective with the noun.
