D Correct answer
Explanation

A fugitive is someone who has escaped or is fleeing, especially from the law or confinement. "Escapee" directly means someone who has escaped or fled - a perfect match. The other options (jailbird, inmate, prisoner) all refer to people who are currently confined - the opposite of a fugitive who has escaped.
