*Answer is D but I cant explain why. Is it a tense error? Subject- verb?
“Repel” means to push away from something. It is often used figuratively, as when I say that Bob’s breath repelled me. This problem wants “propelled,” which means to push toward. It’s also a common idiom: propel to fame. Stuff like that you just need to remember.

Surely the bold word is a typo and should read “settings.”
