Option B is anxiety about disappointing others, not passion for the new interest. Option C is setting aside the interest for someone else, which is the opposite of prioritizing it. Option D, practicing the clarinet all summer, is sustained, focused effort that directly reflects passion for the new interest.

D. Lucas practices the clarinet all summer.
