Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: holding the animals in captivity for our joy
Why this fits: If she is a strong opponent of holding animals in captivity for human amusement, it directly explains why she never visits zoos.
Grammatical note: The phrase 'opponent of the idea of' is naturally followed by a gerund phrase (holding the animals in captivity...), so the structure is grammatically correct.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
The phrase 'setting the animals free into forest' is awkward ('into the forest' is needed) and, even if corrected, opposing the freeing of animals would not explain avoiding zoos.
The phrase 'feeding the animals while others are watching' is unrelated to the typical objection to zoos and does not logically explain avoiding them.
The phrase 'watching the animals in their natural abode' (better: 'natural habitat') implies a different idea and does not explain refusal to visit zoos.
