To verify the answer, let's analyze each option:
A) When you are rock climbing you are faced with terrain that could possibly have falling rocks, or branches.
This option is incorrect because there is a punctuation error. The comma after "rocks" is unnecessary and should be removed.
B) When you are rock climbing, you are faced with terrain, that could possibly have falling rocks, or branches.
This option is incorrect because there is a punctuation error. The comma after "terrain" is unnecessary and should be removed.
C) When you are rock climbing you are faced with terrain that could possibly have falling rocks or branches.
This option is incorrect because there is a punctuation error. It lacks a comma before the coordinating conjunction "or". The sentence should be "When you are rock climbing, you are faced with terrain that could possibly have falling rocks **,** or branches.
D) When you are rock climbing, you are faced with terrain that could possibly have falling rocks or branches.
This option is correct. It has proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar. The comma is correctly placed between the introductory clause "When you are rock climbing" and the main clause "you are faced with terrain". Additionally, the comma before "or" separates the items in a list.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) When you are rock climbing, you are faced with terrain that could possibly have falling rocks or branches.
