Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The subsequent sentence states that the Forest Guard was "hurrying to try to get a share of the fat when he ran into a herd..." and just learned from a boy that a tiger killed one of the cows. This state of hurry, worry, and sudden unexpected chaos shows he was "agitated" (feeling or appearing troubled or nervous). Option D is correct.
