Answer:

D) Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.

Explanation:

The best revision of the sentence includes a comma to separate the present participle clause <em>Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble </em>from the next clause.

The rest of the choices are incorrect because option A has no commas at all, sentence B contains unnecessary commas, and option C separates the suject from the verb in the participle clause.
