Explanation:

The error is in fragment D. The word ‘climactic’ which means ‘consisting of or causing a climax’ makes this sentence absurd.

The correct word to be used here is ‘climatic’ which means ‘of or relating to climate’.

The correct sentence would therefore be:

Weather scientists say the initial phase of the monsoon was marred by adverse climatic conditions.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
