d. She and Nenny’s laughter is loud and grabs the attention of anyone nearby.

Step-by-step explanation

d makes the most sense because a pile of dishes breaking is not exactly quite. it would be loud. it says nothing about their sense of humor being different. in fact if they are laughing together wouldnt that mean that their humor is more or less the same? and its not a because a is unrelated to what the paragraph is talking about. so D is the best answer. because they’re being loud and breaking dishes is loud.
good luck!
