Which sentence from the passage would best support an assertion that the Parson has a sense of humor?

A) "Good night t'ee," said the man with the basket.

B) Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune.

C) An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat was ruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off.

D) "It was only my whim," [The Parson] said; and, after a moment's hesitation: "It was on account of a discovery I made some little time ago, whilst I was hunting up pedigrees for the new county history."

    D, "It was only my whim," [The Parson] said; and, after a moment's hesitation: "It was on account of a discovery I made some little time ago, whilst I was hunting up pedigrees for the new county history."

    Explanation:

    This passage acknowledges the Parson's inclination to refer to Jack Durbeyfield as Sir John in jest. He does so because, in his scouring of the county history, he discovered that Jack belonged to the ancient and knightly family of the d'Urbervilles.
