D Correct answer
Explanation

Rejoicing means showing or feeling joy or celebration, which fits the context of victory news. Elating is a verb/participle meaning to make someone feel joyful, not the noun form needed. Happy is an adjective. Celebration would fit grammatically but the word 'great celebration at the news' is less idiomatic than 'great rejoicing at the news'.
