Explanation:

Although all the provided options seem to paraphrase the original content, option D is the only one that doesn´t incur on plagiarism.

Option C fails to cite Tricia Gomez as the source of the paraphrased sentence. And even when correctly citing the original author, changing the meaning of the original source, even slightly, such as on option A and B, is also a form of plagiarism.

Therefore, option D is the only one that avoids plagiarism.
