The correct answer is D.

Beginning a presentation with  a funny story ( A ) is always good as it relaxes the audience and creates an easy-going atmosphere. Telling a true story or a real-life experience makes the presentation more believable  and also allows the students to see their teacher as a ordinary person and not only as their teacher. Giving a lengthy and detailed lecture about gardening ( B ) would seem boring to most of teenager and most of them wouldn't pay much attention to what was being said anyway. Bringing in actual worms for the audience to handle and observe ( C ) is another excellent way to capture the teenagers' interests, as it represents a hands-on experience during the presentation. The soil samples could be seen as something the teenager saw every day but had no idea of their different types.

All together, a funny, well researched and interestingly presented  piece of information is the best way to capture the listeners' attention and to get them involved in the discussion afterwards.

Answer is D.
