it must be sloth not sloths because of its toes ...A,B,C out

I second :D

Sloth hangs on the tree so it can sleep 15 hrs a day. So.... that.. is the correct idiomatic form. sleeping and moving make the sentence parallel.

A, B, C (sloths) eliminated when in the sentence have it -> refer to sloth

D is better than E,
when in E express unparalellism
(E) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeps fifteen hours a day, and it moves infrequently enough
IMO: D
