D.

Explanation:

The bow-and-drill fire technique is a prehistoric way of creating fire using woods. In this fire drill method, friction is generated to create a fire.

In this fire drill method, a piece of soft wood is taken and made a bow with it. Then the bow is rubbed against the drill to generate the friction. The drill is performed in circular motion until it creates a friction to create a fire. At the end of the drill, dry leaves are kept so that it may catch fire.

From the given options the correct one is D.
