Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct wording: One of the most important phenomena of our times is the development of computer science.

Explanation: The word "phenomenon" is singular; its plural is "phenomena." The construction "one of the most important ..." must be followed by a plural noun (one of many), so "phenomena" is required.

  • "of all phenomenon" — Incorrect: uses the singular "phenomenon" and is ungrammatical in this context.

  • "phenomenas" — Incorrect: not the standard plural form; the correct plural is "phenomena."

  • "no improvement required" — Incorrect: the original underlined phrase needs correction from singular to plural.

  • "phenomena" — Correct: this is the proper plural and makes the sentence grammatically correct.
