Correct — D, No error. The singular subject 'Climate change' agrees with 'is', the parenthetical 'whether it is natural or human-induced' is correctly set off by commas, and 'human-induced' is properly hyphenated — so no segment needs correcting.
- (a)Climate change, whether it is — Error-free — opens a correctly punctuated parenthetical clause.
- (b)natural or human-induced, — Error-free — 'human-induced' is a correctly formed hyphenated adjective within the parenthesis.
- (c)is stressful for the people. — Error-free — the singular verb 'is' agrees with the singular subject 'Climate change'.
