What Bond found was a priest - a dynamic, handsome Franciscan friar in a brown robe - who was serving as the spiritual director for the retreat and agreed to begin counseling her on her marriage. One day, she said, as she was leaving the priest's parlor, he pulled her aside for a passionate kiss.

Can anyone point out why D is wrong?
in D the usage of past perfect had pulled is wrong.......simple past tense should have been used

when someone is reporting an event , an action that took place in the past becomes past perfect .in D the usage of past perfect had pulled is warranted

option A looks best here.. D is in Past Perfect tense. Option C and E are incorrect due the word 'like'

option B is awkward (that he agreed...)
