An adjective means to describe something.

C would be out of the question.

B would be a verb because it is an action, for example, run, jump, dropping your ice cream.

A is not describing, it is implying his feelings.

So we are left with D that is appropriately describing Ricardo's little sister.

So to put quite simply, you're answer would be:

D.
