Answer:

D. from imperative to conditional

Step-by-step explanation:

An inappropriate shift or inconsistency in the verb of a sentence confuses the reader. Shifts in a verb mood can make reading difficult and obscure the sentence's meaning. In this sentence, the mood of the verb changes from imperative to conditional. To correct the shift, both clauses in the sentence should be in the same (conditional) mood: If you always count your blessings, you might feel more fortunate in comparison to others.
