D. to talk and answer questions about something after formally promising to tell the truth

Explanation:

The verb testify means to provide evidence and testimony as a witness in a court of law. In the passage, the author Joey Bartolomeo explains that Caleb takes part in the investigation about the health seminar. Thus, Caleb makes a formal deposition, which will be used to examine the facts and establish the truth.
