The correct answer is D.

The conversation given above involves three people. Daniel was making some references to a section of a book and Anna was asking him if he has any evidence to back up what he was saying. Jennifer interfered by suggesting that they open the book and check out the facts. This discussion technique used by Jennifer is called returning to text. It involves checking out facts from a book.
