- Boccurring
- Crepeating
- Dno improvement
Explanation
The underlined word happening is already the most natural verb for mishaps occurring repeatedly, so no substitution improves the sentence. Manifesting, occurring and repeating are all less idiomatic here. Hence no improvement, option D, is correct. Note: this key is disputed — verify against the official UPSC key.
