Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by Susan E. Quinlan.
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always, Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited for the return of the bird in need of rebanding. When the moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose around the gulls legs.
What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
A. to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
B. to emphasize the materials that Larry used
C. to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls
D. to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
