D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence needs a passive voice construction: 'So many false predictions about doom are (i) been making.' The correct passive form of 'are making' is 'are being made.' This shows predictions are currently being created by unnamed sources. 'Made' is simple past, 'having' creates a grammatically incorrect structure, and 'they making' is grammatically incorrect.
