Solution

The correct option is E threatened
'Pretend' refers to a made-up behaviour, 'said' means to say, 'thought' is to think of something, 'warn' means to alert, 'threaten' means to intimidate somebody. Hence, in this context, 'threaten' suits best. So, option D is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the correct answer.
