Correct Answer
D. Montag had shot a continuous pulse of liquid fire on him

Explanation
Beatty was described as a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering manikin because Montag had shot a continuous pulse of liquid fire on him.

The use of the words "shrieking," "jumping," "sprawling," and "gibbering" emphasize the chaotic and frenzied state that Beatty was in after being set on fire. This action by Montag represents a turning point in their relationship and symbolizes Montag's rebellion against the oppressive society they live in.
