D. Pulled

The word wrested means to get something by pulling forcefully on it. The word often implies a struggle to obtain something. For example another sentence might be, "The girl wrested the toy from her brother's hands, and he began to cry after she took it from him." or "The police officer wrested the gun away from the assailant."
