Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Option C is the correct option. A subject in a sentence is the the matter discussed within the sentence. Thus, option A and B are incorrect because they are the incomplete matters of discussion. Option D is what is being talked about the subject, ie., it is the object of the verb, is determined. Option C, Ninety-five per cent of an individual's life, is the main issue being talked about in the sentence, ie., it is the subject.
