The answer is D, the fenced area immediately surrounding a house. The curtilage is the are of a home in which the home owner can have a reasonable expectation of privacy and be protected from interruption of intimate activities. Hence, it does not include adjacent fields or, notably, any outbuilding within the fenced area when that outbuilding has a curtilage of its own.
