Vivek: A dog that plays the piano. Well, sort of plays.
Dadaji: And before that?
Vivek: I don't remember, Dadaji.
Dadaji: (nodding) When I was your age, I spent a whole afternoon watching a man a fishing net by the river. I remember his name. I remember he the same song all the time, and that he gave me a piece of when he finished.
Vivek: That sounds boring.
Dadaji: It was very boring. I remember every minute of it.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
He puts the phone down and asks "What was the song?"
His question shows that Dadaji's story has caught his interest more than the videos.
Worth noting
Nothing mentions the battery. The action comes straight after the story, and shows its effect.
