Pembahasan
Untuk dapat menjawabnya, perhatikan penggalan teks berikut:
The next day, the man came back to the chicken coop. He opened the door and stopped. He was very surprised at what he saw. He saw three dead chickens on the floor. The parrot was screaming at the fourth chicken, "Say Catano, or I'll kill you!"

(Keesokan harinya, pria itu kembali ke kandang ayam. Dia membuka pintu dan berhenti. Ia sangat terkejut dengan apa yang dilihatnya. Dia melihat tiga ayam mati di lantai. Burung beo itu berteriak pada ayam keempat, "Katakan Catano, atau aku akan membunuhmu!)

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah D. The man killed the parrot.
