B Correct answer
Explanation

Deft means skillful, nimble, or showing great dexterity in physical movements. The context of climbing trees requires physical agility and skill. 'Dexterous' means skillful with the hands or body, which perfectly matches. 'Swift' means fast, 'ardent' means passionate, and 'inclined' means having a tendency - none capture the sense of physical skill and agility that 'deft' conveys.
