According to me, D is correct option. Because how can we conclude that code is written in reverse manner or may be all words are rearrange with each other. So, the given statement give us correct code about clear but not for any other words, that's why both are not suitable statements.

Answer can be E may be because the code might be in reverse.
Like sky is clear where fa is 'sky' ra is 'is' and de is 'clear'.
Same case with next option jo for 'make' ga for 'it' and de for 'clear'. Right?

Clear is the common word for both the sentence, and the word de is common for both the code language so we may conclude that clear denotes the word 'de'.
