Discussion
Which of these would NOT delay the onset of drag divergence on a wing?
Answer: D
A thicker section accelerates the flow over it more strongly, so it reaches sonic conditions at a lower free-stream Mach number and drag divergence arrives earlier. Thinning the section, sweeping the wing and adopting a supercritical shape all push the onset the other way.
