Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, something that is stentorian is very powerfully loud, not inaudible, which means difficult to hear. So, look for the choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), someone who is nonchalant is casual and indifferent, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), someone who is petulant is peevish - both mean irritable and ill-tempered.
