Sentence D contains a dangling modifier.

What is a dangling modifier?

• A dangling modifier is a type of modifier that alters a sentence in which the main subject of the sentence is not clearly stated. The example below can be used to explain this.
• Consider the sentence:

Having seen the movie, Leslie turned the TV off.

• In this sentence, seeing the movie is the action that was done and Leslie is the one who performed the action. This sentence, therefore, does not contain a dangling modifier.
• Now, consider:

Having seen the movie, the TV was turned off.

• Here, the action is seeing the movie, but it is not the TV that does the action. The subject is absent, so the performer of the action can't be determined. This sentence clearly contains a dangling modifier.  

What is the dangling modifier in sentence D?

• In the sentence "After reading the whole book, the ending was unsatisfying", the book having been read is the action that was performed, however, the doer of the action is not mentioned.
• This means the sentence has a dangling modifier.
