Active verbs, also called dynamic verbs, express an action whether it be physical or mental. An active verb explains what the subject of the sentence is doing or has done. In this context, all of the given choices are active verbs except 'sounds' - the 'sounds' used in the poem denotes a noun. So, option D is the answer.
