Answer : Option D
Explanation :
There are two sentences combined using a conjunction. The first clause is 'studies have revealed'. The rest forms another noun clause. What have the studies revealed? They have revealed that. Hence the appropriate conjunction is 'that'. This clause should have one main verb which is 'asked'. People are asked to come up with reasons in support of an idea. 'The more they are asked, the less they' is the appropriate way of framing this. The correction therefore is 'that the more reasons people are asked, the less value they'.
