D). "When Rita saw the bright red 'A' at the top of her paper, her heart leapt with joy."

Explanation:

A Descriptive statement is demonstrated as the statement that involves descriptions and details that possess the qualities to evoke the senses of the readers/audience and propose a sensory experience to them (through this description).

As per the question, option B best re-writes the given statement in a descriptive manner as the use of descriptive words like 'red', 'leapt' propose a sensory experience to the readers and elicit the senses (appeal to 'sight' through the description of 'bright red A') that lead to evoke her emotions (as reflected by the phrase 'heart leapt with joy'). Thus, option D is the correct answer.
