D
Details: Sometimes people go to the movies when they are bored. Angelica went to the movies.Conclusion: Angelica was bored.

Explanation

Choice C uses the definition of nocturnal animals: they sleep during the day. Since the details say bats sleep during the day, it follows that bats are nocturnal. The other choices reverse a one-way relationship or treat something that sometimes happens as certain—for example, a person may wear blue without working at the grocery store.
