Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct answer, we analyze the verb tense in sentence 4 and sentence 6. In sentence 4, the action of the bridge being submerged is in the past (the story is in past tense), so "is now submerged" should be changed to "was now submerged" to maintain tense consistency. The other options are incorrect: changing "that" to "it" is unnecessary, inserting a comma after "mainland" is incorrect, and "No change is needed" is wrong as the tense is inconsistent.
# Answer:
C. Change is now submerged to was now submerged
