(D). The entry of new competitors in the industry.

Explanation:

SWOT analysis involves an organization analyzing its strengths and weaknesses internally and the opportunities and threats that exist in its external environment.

New competitors entering an industry may serve as a threat to other organizations already in the industry, as they are coming in with the intent to take a portion of the market share for themselves, from those organizations already there.
