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.
