D Correct answer
Explanation

Cower means to shrink back in fear, to crouch down timidly, or to cringe as from fear or cowardice. All the options - huddle (crouch closely), cringe (shrink back in fear), and crawl (move on hands and knees low to the ground) - describe aspects of this fearful, shrinking behavior. Since all options correctly describe aspects of cowering, 'all of the above' is correct.
