D Correct answer
Explanation

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion or surprise and ends with an exclamation mark. 'How cruel of them!' conveys shock or strong disapproval, which is characteristic of exclamatory sentences. It's not merely stating a fact (assertive/declarative), giving a command (imperative), or asking something.
