This sentence has an error in the use of inappropriate articles. The both nouns are not definite but indefinite persons so an indefinite article must be used. The proper noun 'European* starts with a consonant sound so the article 'a' must be placed before it and the noun 'American' starts with a vowel sound so it needs the article 'an' to be placed before it as it is put in the option D {a European wanted to dance in the moon an American) which is appropriate. Whereas other options use inappropriate articles in either of their places. Option D is the correct answer.
