Explanation:

(a) is wrong because the things before and after ‘or’ are not parallel; i.e. “was gradual” and “created a cataclysm” are not parallel. (b) is wrong because ‘if’ is used when you have only one option. (c) uses an extra word ‘about’. We never debate ‘about’ something, we debate ‘over’ something. (e) repeats the mistake in A. (d) is the best choice.
