Answer: D. He had lost his dog in the vast, open areas.

Explanation:

The Chrysanthemums is a short story about Elisa and her husband. Elisa is very good at gardening even though she only grows chrysanthemums and one day a stranger comes into her property seeking work as he was a Tinker who mended pots and the like.

The man only got to her house because he had lost his dog in the vast, open areas as he travelled seeking customers. After a discussion with Elsa, he deceives her into giving him a small job due to her love for chrysanthemums.
