Language plays a vital role in conveying the desired message or idea to the audience. In order to ensure the efficacy of the message, the language has to be brief and precise instead of beating around the bush which may spoil the intended meaning.

As per the question, the sentence that proposes a clear and precise language which is displayed through option D as it clearly states that since the cell phone got laundered with pants and therefore, he(the speaker) tracked it and ensured to avoid repetition of the similar mistake/confusion again. The other options are inaccurate as they unnecessarily elaborate the point and therefore, fail to provide a brief and precise language. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
