• D. is reflection in the levels of spreading in the pandemic

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Analysis of the Sentence 

"The percentage of Covid-19 cases and the number of deaths" is a compound subject that is plural. Therefore, it requires a plural verb. The phrase "is reflection" should be replaced with "are reflective" to ensure subject-verb agreement.

Corrected Phrase

The correct phrasing is: "are reflective of the level of spread". This maintains both subject-verb agreement and the proper use of adjectives. The other options do not correctly match the plural subject or use appropriate phrasing.

Conclusion

The correct answer is: "are reflective of the level of spread."
