Explanation:

The text describes the General Sherman as grand, large - 274.9 feet high and 36.5 feet in diameter at the base, and over 2,000 years old. These characteristics suggest it is imposing. There is no evidence it is indestructible, it is not deceased as it is still growing, and there is no indication it is enigmatic.

Answer:

D. imposing
