Which character trait of Sherlock Holmes does this excerpt from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrate?
A. His ambitious nature
B. His perfectionist nature
C. His tendency to be cautious
D. His powers of observation
The correct answer is D. His power of observation
