you can eliminate B because it means Jumping from one thing to another, rambling and i am getting these definitions from my book :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay that's good! So we know it is not B!

you can also eliminate C because it means Capable of returning to the original shape after being bent or stretched

I think it is D :) Because it means "most noticeable".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I am wrong, I apologize but I realllly think it's D.
