The correct answer is D.

Examination of the animal's brain for signs of rabies will determine whether the painful and risky process of rabies passive and active immunization is required.

History of previous immunizations (choice A) is used to determine what to do for tetanus prophylaxis, but it has no application for rabies, because virtually no one has ever received such immunization in the past.

Waiting for signs of rabies to appear in the patient (choice B) would be a death sentence. We can prevent rabies, but once established we cannot cure it.

Observation of the animal's behavior (choice C) is applicable when dealing with provoked bites by domestic pets. The behavior of a wild animal gives no clues to the presence or absence of rabies.

If the animal had escaped, choice E would have been correct.
