Why is choice D wrong.

In one of the posts, I read that we can compare singular to plural, as in this sentence - The consultant in KPMG, who specializes in Finance, differs significantly from the consultants in McKinsey

So, why is choice D wrong.

Expert comments please.
Cheers!!!

Whereas often introduces a thought in the dependent clause that contrasts with something in the main clause.
Examples:

Whereas British Iraq empowered the Sunnis, the Americans would tip the scales in favor of the Shiites. [Wall Street Journal]

The typical prediction was 6500, whereas the index is currently trading at about 5400. [Telegraph]

Whereas 1991 looked completely different from 1971, which in turn could never be confused with 1951, the early nineties are indestinguishable from today. [Boston Globe]
