Say: "Why is it not ...?"
.
D is a better choice than A.

(I would say, "Sally's family only cares about themselves.")

Say: "Why is it not ...?"

Or "Why isn't it ...?"

I can't speak for AmE but "Why isn't it ...?" is absolutely fine in BrE.

Yes, but that was not the original question. !The post was edited after my comment.)

For (D) to work here, you'd have to believe that Sally's family wanting her to do more for them is one example of their only caring about themselves.

For A to work you have to believe there is a reason to use "Also" there.

Yes—that reason being that the second sentence expresses additional, not exemplifying, information. I think that's how most would read it.
