Read the sentence below:

The bird resting on the door knob was apparently angry. It flew off the handle when I needed to get inside.

Which of the following correctly explains the pun in this sentence and the word or words on which it is built?

A) Apparently angry-the word apparently introduces some doubt into the scene described

B) Flew off the handle-birds fly and flying off the handle is an expression for getting angry

C) Get inside-the bird is on the door knob because it also wants to get in doors D) Resting on the door-birds are almost never described as resting but are considered quite active
