I think D also. Especially in the context of the sentence – a detective would be more likely to scrutinize a vital clue than to ogle it! View or survey would work, but they are not as effective as scrutinize.

interior the 1st argument you’re superb, then is the excellent word. As for the 2nd occasion, the author’s use of the word for this reason isn’t suitable whilst preceded via the word is, meaning singularity. for this reason is generally used whilst a sort of things are to be made. for this reason shows plurality the place this may well be used interior the singular. “the ambiguity of the aspects affecting American lack of expertise are for this reason;” is actual.

D. scrutinize

It means he was examining very closely and carefully. That would be appropriate for a detective in reference to a clue, especially if it might be a ‘vital’ clue.

The key word is narrowed…. which means he looked very carefully or … scrutinized.

Well it would hardly be ogle now would it?

I would say D would be most effective.
