Answer 2

C. a clever, humanlike animal who plays a trick on another

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the excerpt that Dog is being sneaky with Alligator, luring Alligator in to have dinner together so that the owner can catch Alligator. This does not bode well for Alligator, yet he's still being tricked into doing it.

Thus, the answer is C.
