D) The decision has led to a significant increase in the amount of money involved in U.S. elections.

The Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC (2010) effectively allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns, which has led to a substantial increase in the amount of money in U.S. elections, particularly through super PACs and independent expenditures.
