a the light from the window was keeping the squirrel awake.
b the squirrel was sick.
c the squirrel was happy to be in a cage.
d the smell of food cooking in the kitchen made the squirrel hungry.

Explanation:

Squirrels are active animals. Being kept in a cage is likely to cause stress. A sick squirrel is more likely to be lethargic. A happy - to - be - caged or well - rested squirrel would not run back and forth. The smell of food making it hungry could cause active behavior.

Answer:

D. the smell of food cooking in the kitchen made the squirrel hungry.
