C Correct answer
Explanation

'Gambolled' means to run or jump around playfully, which is the most precise and contextually appropriate word for a child playing in a field. Common verbs like 'jumped', 'played', or 'danced' are either too generic or don't capture the joyful, spontaneous movement of a child.
