D Correct answer
Explanation

(B) is an awkward and a meaningless sentence, using continuous 'forgetting' with indefinitive 'relaxed'. (D) is incorrect as the parallelism in the sentence has not been maintained; 'ing' form with 'convey' was required to have a correct structure of the sentence.

B. As we talked, I felt myself relaxing and forgetting the tensions of unemployment. D. She was always there, her steady blue eyes shining, her voice encouraging (and) her gentle touch conveying her trust and love for the little boy.
