The correct answer is D. To add a topic

Explanation:

The introduction is the first part of an essay and it is the paragraph or set or paragraphs in which the writer should present the topic and tell the reader what the essay is about and the way the content of the essay is organized. Considering this is the first contact the reader has with the essay the introduction is aimed at guaranteeing the reader will continue reading and will understand the main topic of the essay, due to this it is advised to have some hook, which is an interesting beginning that makes the reader want to continue reading or some background information that tells about the topic, also the topic should be explicitly stated as wells as the main claim or thesis statement. In the case of the introduction of the question, it clearly provides a background of the topic based on a personal experience, but does not state explicitly what the essay will be about, because of this, we do not know which is the main idea of the essay or which point the writer is trying to prove. Therefore, this introduction needs to be revised because it is necessary to add a topic.
