Explanation:

We need to find a sentence with a touch - related detail. Option A is about an assumption, no touch. Option B is about sight (seeing through fog). Option C is about the action of waves on a battleship, not touch. Option D has the tailor "thumbed" (a touch action) the "rough patch of canvas" and was "feeling for the seams", which are touch - related details.

Answer:

D. The tailor thumbed the rough patch of canvas, feeling for the seams.
