D Correct answer
Explanation

Comparatives of short adjectives take -er, but they can be intensified with "much." "Young" becomes "younger" in comparative form, not "more young." "More" is used with longer adjectives (more beautiful), not short one-syllable words.

AI explanation

"Much younger" is the standard way to intensify a comparative adjective — "much," "far," or "a lot" are used before comparatives like "younger." "More young" is wrong because "young" already forms its comparative with "-er" (younger), so adding "more" as well is redundant, and "more younger"/"very younger" double up the comparative incorrectly.
