If your second answer is correct, I'll respond. If it's wrong, I won't.

Answer 2

No, the correct answer is A. The sentence "What Betty wants is to harvest the corn" contains a noun clause. A noun clause is a group of words that functions as a noun and can act as the subject or object of a sentence. In this case, the noun clause is "to harvest the corn" which serves as the direct object of the verb "wants." It answers the question, "What does Betty want?" Therefore, the correct answer is A, not D.
