The answer is D: thought shot. A tought shot is used to create meaning in a writing, by allowing the reader to have a perception of the character's or author's perspective, feeling or thought about a situation. It can be in the form of a question or a statement about something. In the excerpt the speaker's opinion is in the line "I should prefer to have some boy bend them".
