Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation

There was no keyword clues to describe this person as "portly" which stands for a stout fat person. "Big-boned" describes someone as big but is muscular and strong. And with the descriptive adjectives and with the thoughts of the speaker, this person is far more than just "chunky"
