B Correct answer
Explanation

'As well as causing' should be followed by a cause which is amiss. The sentence is awkward; therefore, (A) is an incorrect sentence. (B) is incorrect due to inappropriate tense usage. Past indefinite and present tense have been used in the same sentence. Therefore, (B) is also incorrect. The usage of 'in the morning' in (C) is repetitive. (D) has no error.
