Option D is the most accurate interpretation of the tone set by the author. By using the pronouns “I," “me," and “my," the author relates a personal experience directly to the reader, creating an informal and conversational tone.

This personal narrative style invites the reader into the scene, making it feel more intimate and accessible, as if hearing a story from a friend. The terms "amused" and "successful grabs" contribute to the light-heartedness but do not necessarily align with formal language and do not explicitly indicate a whimsical or sophisticated tone.
