Explanation:

A broken rear sway bar link can cause excessive movement and stress on the shock absorber mount. A weak or seized shock absorber would not directly cause the mount to break. A broken transmission mount is related to the transmission and not the shock absorber mount.

Answer:

D. A broken rear sway bar link
