OA is B. But what is wrong with D?

http://www.dyslexiamylife.org/grammar.htm There are three cases in English: subjective, objective, and possessive. Pronouns in the subjective case act as subjects. Pronouns in the objective case act as direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of prepositions. Pronouns in the possessive case indicate ownership and usually act as adjectives. The following will help to identify the case of pronouns. Subject pronouns: I, he, she, we, they Object pronouns: me, him, her, us, them Possessive pronouns: my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, our, ours, their, theirs The sentence, "He handed the report to Jim and I," has a pronoun case error because "I" is a subject pronoun trying to be the object of the preposition "to." The correct pronoun is "me." In such a sentence, where there is more than one subject or object, block out the other subjects or objects. This will make the case of the pronoun in question clearer. Example: "Wilson expects Jean and I to reorganize the committee."[Omit "Jean and."] The sentence, "Wilson expects I to reorganize the committee," is ungrammatical. The pronoun "I," always a subject pronoun, is unable to act as the direct object of the verb, "expect." The sentence should read, "Wilson expects Jean and me to reorganize the committee." What follows is a list of rules for correct pronoun case usage and examples. Use "who" and "whoever" as subject pronouns. Use "whom" and "whomever" as object pronouns. "My rich uncle says he'll give his money to whomever he wants." "Here's the man who saved my life." Use subject pronouns after linking verbs. "The ones responsible are she and I." "I'm calling for Mr. Duffy." "This is he." Use subject pronouns after "than" or "as" when an implied verb could follow the pronoun. "He is more desperate than I (am)." "She likes squid more than I (do)." Be careful, however, not to convey a different meaning than you intend by confusing subject and object pronouns. Contrast the above sentence with the following: "She likes squid more than me." This last sentence means that "She" likes squid more than she likes me. When in doubt which pronoun to use, see if you can insert an implied verb after the pronoun in question. ====================================================================================================== http://www.tta.gov.uk/php/read.php?sectionid=125&articleid=315&print=true Although English nouns, unlike those in some other languages, remain the same whether they are the subject or the object of a verb, some of our pronouns do change: e.g. 'I/me' and 'he/him'. The first person pronoun, ‘I/me’, confuses many people, who do not realise that ‘I’ should only be used as the subject of a sentence (the person doing the action) and ‘me’ only as the object (the one the action is being done to). For example: The parents asked Mr Green and I for our opinion. should be: The parents asked Mr Green and me for our opinion. (Think of ‘They asked me’ – you would not write ‘They asked I’.) Similarly, Mr Green and me were asked for our opinions.should be: Mr Green and I were asked for our opinions.
