PLEASE HELP, GAVE AWAY ALL MY 60 POINTS!!!!!

Read these sentences from “The Open Window.”

"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly; "he told me he had a horror of dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."

Romance at short notice was her speciality.

Which phrase from these sentences contributes most to the humor in the story?


A. “'...cemetery somewhere...'”


B. “'...he had a horror of dogs...'”


C. “'...on the banks of the Ganges...'”


D. “'I expect it was the spaniel...'”


I can't tell if it's B or D :((
