答案和解析

答案：D

解析：

Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the sentence fragment of the original by providing the main verb "is" to carry out the action of the sentence. In addition, it places the proper noun "Arthur Ashe" directly before the relative clause that modifies it, "who won the first ever US Open men's singles title in 1968."
