D Correct answer
Explanation

The few other refugees had to starve since Inder alone consumed all the food. The word ‘since’ introduces the reason why the other refugees had to do something. Only the pair in option (4) makes the two clauses cohesive parts of a single sentence. ‘Consume’ means to eat/drink in great quantity.
