The shepherd was looking after the flock of sheep.

• These words given here are called collective nouns.
• "A collective noun is a naming word used to refer to a group or number of animals, people, or things."
• Different types of collective nouns are used for different nouns
• For people some of the common ones are -> gang, crew, army, team
• A few examples are 1. A team of players, 2. A gang of thieves
• For animals the commons ones are -> flock, swarm, herd
• A few examples are 1. A flock of birds, 2. A swarm of bees
• For objects the common ones used are - > fleet, deck, range
• A few examples are 1. a fleet of ships, 2. A deck of cards
• Usually we say a herd of sheep. Since we are not given that option a synonym for the herd is a flock. Flock is used for birds but it can also be used for groups of sheep and people.
• Hence option (D) flock is the correct answer
