Correct answer: D. Prettily
- A. Still
- B. Do
- C. Affect
- D. Prettily
Explanation
The adverb "prettily" is used incorrectly. The correct adverb here is "pretty." This change ensures proper modification of the adjective "serious." The corrected sentence is: I think there are still people who do not realize that it does affect your life to a pretty serious degree.
