Not supported, because the author indicates that a “worldwide public has become captivated by fractal geometry.” There’s no indication that the wider public understands theorems and proofs.

The author never makes any claims about “most” (over half) of the important recent breakthroughs in math theory.
The author doesn’t indicate that fractal geometry might “replace” traditioanl geometry in “most” (over half) of engineering applications. Some practitioners think it will eventually be able to describe natural forms as easily as traditional geometry can, but this doesn’t relate to the idea of replacing traditional geometry, nor does it suggest anything about “most” engineering applications.

Supported, because fractal geometry has been developed and found applications even though there’s no exact definition of fractal geometry. If you don’t like (D) because of “find applications,” there actually is support for fractal geometry having applications. It’s been used to prove some theorems that couldn’t have been proven with pre-fractal math.
Not supported, because we know that there are already enthusiastic practitioners of fractal geometry even though fractal geometry doesn’t yet support a system of theorems and proofs.
