majority is plural

I will go with D.

"A majority" is plural, while "The majority" is singular.

OA states otherwise,

Should be D

I think the answer should be D.
i came across the following text in the forum

With words that indicate portions? percent, fraction, part, majority, some, all, none, remainder, and so forth ? look at the noun in your of phrase (object of the preposition) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb.

If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.

Please post the OA.

E IMO. OA plz
