D Correct answer
Explanation

Gruesome means causing horror or disgust, typically through violence or unpleasantness. Frightful is the correct synonym as it captures the sense of causing fear or horror. Painful relates to physical hurt, tragic involves sadness or loss, and hateful means inspiring hatred - none fully capture the horror/disgust element.
