"The student has fulfilled all his graduation requirements except for one class in history and one in biology."

should have been the correct answer if it was "one class in history and one class in biology.

since it is not, the second "one " has no meaning ---ruled out

D is the only one left ----though it is a passive , we don't have other options.
