This question is based on the following passage.

i was in the national forest with my camera. the day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. when i spotted the white-tailed buck, i froze. he wasn't more than 15 yards from where i was standing. the wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. i lifted my camera very slowly. carefully, holding my breath, i lifted the camera to my eye. turning the focus ring, i framed the deer's head. just as i was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. he was looking my way with wide eyes. click. i took the picture. an instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. he took off, but i had the shot. today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace.

what is the author implying in the phrase "the wind must have been right"?

a. the deer was clearly not afraid of humans.
b. the deer was not able to pick up the scent of the author.
c. the author was fortunate to have his camera with him.
d. the author was worried the wind would disturb his shot.

    D. Fall is implied.  The leaves turning gold and red is the biggest cue, as this only happens in fall.  Other clues include 'crisp' (chilly, but not snow-cold).

    D. Fall

    Explanation:

    Based on this description, we can tell that the day the author is describing is a day in the fall. We can see this due to various reasons. We learn that the leaves that were found in the forest were turning gold and red. This is usually a clear sign of fall. Moreover, we can also see that the day is described as "crisp." A crisp day is one that is slightly cool. These details contribute to developing the idea that the day being described happened in the fall.

    D. The deer was not able to pick up the scent of the author.

    Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see the description of how a photographer was able to take a picture of a white-tailed buck, one day when he was in the National Forest. He uses the sentence "The wind must have been right" to express his luck, because the deer wasn't able to pick up the scent of the author, and it didn't move until after the photo was taken.
