A recent and popular self-help book wryly notes that if adolescence was not so painful, it would have a droll comedic aspect, at least in retrospect.

A. was not so painful, it
B. was not so painful, they
C. were not so painful, they
D. were not so painful, it
E. were not so painful, being one

imo D

subjunctive form - uncertainty expressed in the sentence. Therefore, can't use 'was' instead use 'were'

We are using "were" in if clause than "would have" in then claues should not be acceptable.
