Jasper Macdonald · Answer 2

A

Explanation:

A explains the idea in the most concise and precise manner because it limits both the action and the description of the trophies to one word each. Scampered means the same things as walk hurriedly, so it is a better option.

With regard to the trophies, while D gives more information about the type of trophy that was being awarded, it does not add essential information to the sentence and simply makes it longer.
