Answer:

D. The research shows a steady decline in overall quality, yet sales continue to increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence with good syntax needs to connect the two parts in the sentence carefully, correctly, and with punctuation. Adding a comma so that it's a compound sentence, and easier to understand is step one. Step two, you should add a preposition before sales to introduce the other fact.

Hopefully this helps!
