The correct option is D NO CHANGE
When we wish to show that one statement is proved, inferred or implied by another, we use illative conjunctions such as for, therefore, thus, etc. In this case, since we are 'inferring' that she spent time cleaning her room from the fact that her clothes were piled neatly and her books put away, we use 'for'.
