The correct answer is D. Note to self: Buy brown eggs. Definitely not white eggs; Ruth always yells when I get white eggs, but then she yells a lot anyway because she probably grew up in - wait, what color egg did she want?

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, the stream of consciousness refers to a style of narrator and type of narrator in which the events that occur in a story, as well as the feelings and perceptions of the narrator, depict they way feelings and perception occur in human being's mind. Because of this stream of consciousness writing usually depicts the thoughts of the narrator as they flow, which includes gaps in the narration, disorganized ideas and in some cases lack or punctuation.

This is the case of option D. as this option presents the thoughts of the narrator as they flow disorganized around the ide of buying eggs, this can be seen in the lack of connectors between ideas and in some sentences such as "wait, what color egg did she want?" that shows the thinking process of the narrator, as he or she has forgotten the previous ideas, which is common in stream of consciousness but not in other types of writing.
