Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Choice (A) is the correct substitute for the underlined part. The use of 'although' suggests that a word opposite in meaning to 'self-sufficient' has to be used in the second part. 'Lacking' is more apt. 'Warning' can also go. But in choice (D) 'warning' is followed by 'to have' which makes it ungrammatical.
