A question

the book was written in 1964,______the education system has witnessed great changes.

a . when
b. during which
c. since then
d . since when

The answer at the back of the book says the best choice is D. But I just simply can't fathom this... Why? To me, d is the only answer that seems totally impossible.

It's ambiguous. It can refer to the year (1964) or the entire main clause.
