Explanation:

The error is in fragment D. The correct pair of correlative conjunctions should be used. In the fragment D, ‘as’ should be used instead of ‘than’ in order to make the sentence correct.

The correct sentence would therefore be:

Li and colleagues examined data on 1,848 women in the U.S. and found that those with the highest levels of triclosan in their urine were two and a half times as likely to have osteoporosis as women with the lowest triclosan levels.

Option D is hence the correct answer.
