The correct option is D He was singing and having fun.
In order to find the correct answer, one must always read the question first to find the answer quickly. Reading the first sentence of the passage - 'It was summer and the cricket sat on the ear of wheat happily singing and enjoying the sun', we can easily say that option B is the correct answer - He was singing and having fun.
Option A is incorrect, as he wasn't just sitting, he was singing and having fun too.
Option C is incorrect, 'He felt sorry' doesn't explain us about what he was doing during the summer.
Option D is incorrect, as option B is the correct answer.
