D Correct answer
Explanation

The 'intent to cause damage' clause in the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010 created strict liability for suppliers even in cases where the damage wasn't their fault, which foreign suppliers found unacceptable. This was the main contentious provision delaying the bill's passage and the implementation of the Indo-US nuclear deal. The other options listed are not actual clauses that were significant obstacles.
