I also chose "A".

But the discussion of whether "a group of students who have begun" is a singular or plural is worth doing.

Will be happy is some expert could respond to this.

Thanks
Mankey

Please look at Ron's Explanation https://www.beatthegmat.com/morning-park ... 50970.html.
According to Ron in that thread:
"the use of the plural verb "have begun" is 100% proof that the noun "group" is plural in this sentence. "
"it is impossible for the SAME INSTANCE of the SAME NOUN to shift between singular and plural."
so answer has to be D
