Answer
A
During (gerund), that (article), epidemic (n), early (adj), warnings (v), circulated (v), widely (adv)
B
During (v), that (demonstrative adj), epidemic (n), early (adv), warnings (n), circulated (v), widely (adj)

D
During (prep), that (demonstrative adj), epidemic (n), early (adj), warnings (n), circulated (v), widely (adv)

Explanation

“During” is a preposition introducing the phrase “during that epidemic.” “That” is a demonstrative adjective describing the noun “epidemic,” and “early” is an adjective describing “warnings.” “Warnings” is a noun, “circulated” is the verb, and “widely” is an adverb modifying “circulated,” so choice D is correct.
