D. Responded with a squeaky chirp.
Explanation:
The detail "responded with a squeaky chirp" from the passage could be used as an example in a paragraph about imagery. Imagery is a literary device in which figurative language is used in order to represent ideas, objects and actions that appeal to the reader's senses.
In the sentence "responded with a squeaky chirp" the author uses imagery to create in the reader a visual image of the situation, by appealing to the sense of hearing, thanks to the words "squeaky" and "chirp".
