D Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in using 'human' instead of 'humane.' 'Human' refers to belonging to the human species, while 'humane' means showing compassion, kindness, and sympathy toward others. In the context of authorities' attitude toward tragedy victims, we need 'humane' to convey the expected compassionate response. The correct phrase should be 'has not been humane.'
