Hi there!

Hyphenated Sentences have words that function as a single adjective before a noun, such as compound number and to avoid confusion in combinations.

From the Options given above,
[ Option D. ] is NOT hyphenated.

because,
Other sentences have compound adjectives like good-looking, long-binded, family-owned. 

Hope it helps!
