The problem with D is that it first uses 'has been' for one of the groups- East Germans (definitely singular) and then uses 'who have' in the original sentence. doesn't 'who have' refer to the same one of the groups- East Germans. And isn't East Germans a proper noun?

Posting my solution:- exp can be written as:- (k+1)(k+2)(k+3) (1) Given that k=8a where a is any integer. Replacing in the above:- (8a+1)(8a+2)(8a+3) = 2(8a+1)(4a+1)(8a+3) ie. the expression will not be divisible by 4 in any case. Hence either (A) or (D) (2) (k+1)/3 = 2a+1 (as it is an odd integer) ...
