Explanation:

In "Mending Wall", the neighbor repeats the old - fashioned saying "good fences make good neighbours" which he learned from his father. It represents his traditional and conservative view on boundaries. There is no indication that he dislikes the speaker, and while keeping cows out or people off his land could be related to boundaries, the text implies it's mainly about his adherence to the old - time saying passed down from his father.

Answer:

D. He is repeating what his father used to say.
