Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. that it will be causing.
The given sentence is grammatically incorrect. Here, 'that it would cause' should be used instead of 'that it will be causing'. The given sentence is in the past tense. So, the use of future continuous tense is wrong.
Correct sentence: The air in the city is so polluted that it would cause several kinds of respiratory illnesses.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
