Explanation:

Correct answer is (d). In the given sentence, the error lies in fragment B of the sentence in which the use of auxiliary verb is wrong. It is the grammatical rule that if there are two subjects of different numbers in a sentence, there should be separate auxiliary verbs attached to both of them. In this sentence, three were killed and one injured has only one auxiliary verb in the first part but not in the second. Other parts are grammatically and contextually correct and do not need any corrections.
The correct sentence would be: Considering the case in which three were killed and one was injured, I decided to appoint the most intelligent investigator of the force to crack the case.
It makes option D the correct choice among the given options.
