Ravi is searching for disconfirming evidence, which means he is looking for an item that does not fit the current rule. A rock is not a living thing, so if it is added to the picture and is still considered an item in the collection, it would disconfirm his initial guess that the rule connecting all of the items is "must be a living thing." Therefore, D is the best choice. A plant and a poodle are living things, while a lion is also a living thing but not typically associated with dogs.
