Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (D) where 'occurs' should be 'occur'. The subject is compound ('both high temperature and abundant rainfall'), which is plural and requires the plural verb form 'occur' instead of the singular 'occurs'. This is a subject-verb agreement error.
