I choose D . but the OA is B. Can anyone please explain why

IMO is B

Why not D?
Sentence structure seems to be fine for both of them but B sounds much better than D

B is in passive voice but still the best option.
In A) and D) Obviously is redundant. Nothing is being said why it is obvious.
B) Although few people like his brusque manner or undisciplined life style, Jacques is obviously one of the best marksmen in France.
Correct use of puntuation and use of noun immediately after comma. The contrast is bought out clearly by appropiate construction of Although and obviously. The sentence implies that some people don't like him but it does not take away the fact that he is good .
C) like together - ungramatical.
E)Here is implies Jacques does not like someone.

Sarthak, I chose D as well. Notwithstanding the contrast in clarity between statements B and D, is statement D still grammatically correct? Sarthak, where did you find this question?
