A.
But recently, most of the SC OAs made a lot of surprises. As we agree on the answer, but OAs are different.

What is OA?

OA is D.

the structure of the sentence is an independent clause with an appositive thrown in the middle.

The Gatherers, a lecture series discussing life in early human tribes, suggests that early hunting and foraging groups and agricultural communities be viewed as distinct, rather than as parts of a continuum

The Gatherers suggests that early hunting and foraging groups and agricultural communities be viewed as distinct, rather than as parts of a continuum

a) which discusses life among early human tribes, suggests that hunting and foraging groups be viewed as distinct from agricultural communities, rather than as part of a continuum
which must be preceded by a preposition when it is not used to start a nonessential clause on the GMAT

b) discussing life in early human tribes, suggests hunting and foraging groups should be viewed distinctly from agricultural communities, rather than continuously
suggest is a "thinking" verb. it requires THAT

c) that discusses life in early human tribes, suggest that hunting and foraging groups are distinct from agricultural communities, rather than as part of a continuum
not parallel

d) discussing life in early human tribes, suggests that early hunting and foraging groups and agricultural communities be viewed as distinct, rather than as parts of a continuum
Subjunctive mood

e) discussing life among early human tribes, suggested to view hunting and gathering groups as distinct from agricultural communities, rather than in a continuum
not parallel. missing a THAT

Clear D

A is clearly wrong (as distinct from Y, rather than as part of a continuum) ???? ugh no

D is concise, parallel, and makes sense, plus its the shortest
