The correct answer is: D. No error
The sentence is grammatically correct. The subject “the number of school dropouts” agrees with the verb “are” in number. The sentence is also clear and concise.
The sentence could be improved by adding more detail about the factors that contribute to school dropouts. For example, the sentence could say: “When we consider all the factors that contribute to school dropouts, such as poverty, lack of parental support, and mental health issues, the number of school dropouts is quite disturbing.”
