The correct answer is C. The details show why other animals might believe anything Squealer says.

Explanation:

The excerpt presented explains, one of the pigs in the farm named Squealer "could turn black into white" which means he could convince other animals about anything he wanted. According to the narrator, this occurred because "He was a brilliant talker", besides this Squaler uses the movement of his tail to convince other animals "a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive". These details in the text develop the idea a persuasive talker can make others believe anything even lies because in the text the narrator explains animals believe anything Squalker says only because he moves its tail and use words brilliantly (Option C).
