D Correct answer
Explanation

Alive here means alert, animated, or showing emotion - as in 'came alive' meaning became animated or responsive. Affable means friendly, acquisitive means eager to collect, afresh means anew, and aloof means distant. When someone suddenly shows emotion or responsiveness in conversation, they 'come alive'.
