D is correct. "They" refers to suppliers. Please see that fish can not grow on its own.

Infact the reason u gave stands tru for C. Here, "Them" refers to fish, but fish is singular.

G'rant:

Actually at no time int he sentence is fish singular. Therefore it's always them or they. Fish is one of those irregular words that is the same for the singular and plural, but in this case it's apparent that they are talking about fish, the category of food, and therefore plural because it's a great amount.

Oooo, a challenge!

Actually coming with a comprehensive list is really hard since English lexicon is so huge. Here are a few examples of nouns both singular and plural:

sheep
fish
deer
offspring
means
series
species

Then there is the larger category of irregular nouns. I found a cool link that has the general rule for how to pluralize most nouns in English. Click Here
