Explanation:

Stream of consciousness is a narrative style that mimics the natural, unstructured flow of a character's inner thoughts, including tangents and random distractions. Option D directly reflects this by describing Granny's narration being interrupted by unconnected, spontaneous thoughts, which is the core feature of this literary technique. The other options describe emotional state, figurative language, or structural pacing, none of which define stream of consciousness.

Answer:

D. In her narration, Granny often gets distracted by random thoughts.
