The sentence uses the present continuous verb 'causing', which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The correct form here should be the simple past tense form 'caused'.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is C.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
