Explanation:

To determine why the narrator thinks his mom is "pretty cool", we analyze each option:

• Option A describes finding the pup, not related to the mom's coolness.
• Option B just says the mom was watching shows, no indication of coolness.
• Option C is the narrator's promise about the pup, not about the mom's attitude.
• Option D contrasts Benji's mom (who would freak about a pup) with the narrator's mom (who doesn't care as long as dinner is made and she's not bothered during shows), showing why the narrator thinks his mom is cool.

Answer:

D. "My best friend Benji's mom would freak if he brought home a pup, but my mom, she doesn't care as long as I make us dinner and don't bother her when she's watching her shows."
