Explanation:

When people rally to something or when something rallies them, they unite to support it.

Ex. His supporters have rallied to his defence.
Ex. He rallied his own supporters for a fight.

The preposition 'in/at' is followed by the verb 'rally' only in a context of a place.

Ex. Ian Smith, a 24-year-old who works with adolescents in drug and mental health rehab, showed up at the same Trump rally in suburban Southern California.

Ex. Fistfights broke out among protesters who were rallying at the JNU, prompting the management to cancel the event.

Hence, the option D is correct.
