Answer:

D. Mr. White accepting the paw and the resulting tragedy

Explanation:

The word "foreshadow" is an intransitive verb that means to represent something or signify something that will happen, beforehand.

From the passage, the sergeant-major talks about a paw that had a spell cast on it by an old fakir who granted three wishes for three separate people who found it and anyone that tried to interfere with fate would have sorrow to pay for it.

The sergeant-major explained that he got the paw after the first man that found the paw had his third wish to be death. So, the soldier accepted the paw and the resulting tragedy, which was the death of the first finder of the paw.
