Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of this question is, as it says, to rewrite the sentence in a descriptive way.

Answer A doesn't make the original sentence more descriptive

Answer B is an entirely different sentence with a negative connotation

Answer C just adds words, but doesn't make the sentence more descriptive.

So it must be D.
