Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given passage is talking about the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. The closest meaning of the word 'tolled' used in the fourth sentence of the paragraph means 'was rung.' The paragraph is talking about the crack in the Liberty Bell. In 1846, on George Washingtons' birthday, when the bell was rung/tolled the crack enlarged in the bell and could no longer be used after that.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
