- Din human society innumerable problems
Explanation
The verb "has presented" should be followed directly by its object "innumerable problems," with the place adverbial "in human society" coming after: "has presented innumerable problems in human society." The awkwardly placed phrase sits in part (D), which is therefore the error part. Hence (D).
