Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Since complex problems have multiple interdependencies, interventions designed to address them should also be correspondingly complex. Only by addressing multiple factors and interdependencies can an intervention be effective in addressing complex problems. Simple interventions may not be sufficient to address complex problems and may even result in unintended consequences. Therefore, corresponding complexity in intervention design is essential.
