E - what does THEM refer? COMMUNITY is not plural...as we have A COMMUNITY, therefore THEM cant refer to COMMUNITY. It cannt refer to INCOMES as it will make sentence non-sensical

Hi geno5,
Could you explain in depth the reason D is wrong ?
I think 'a community' is a singular noun as it's a group noun. So the clause is not grammatically wrong, isn't it ? Additionally, it doesn't change the meaning of the original sentence
