I can try
So, between B and D- IMO D is correct
Roles played by THAT-
1> Essential modifier- emphasizing something in the sentence that is ABSOLUTELY necessary to convey the authors intent and overall meaning.
2> Pronoun- Taking the place of the Subject of the sentence which is usually a noun
Roles played by WHICH-
1> Non-essential modifier- emphasizing something in the sentence that is ADDITIONAL information, without which the sentence is still able to convey the authors intent and overall meaning.
2> Pronoun- Usually proceeded by comma and in most cases refers to the closest noun
Now in this sentence 'which' is correct (even though without comma!) because it helps convey the meaning without ambiguity 'which' refers to the closest noun 'sleeping' followed by the reason for the action noun! If we use THAT here, then because THAT can refer to the closest noun or the subject of the previous clause it is ambiguous whether it is referring to -Alice (subj of the previous clause) or sleeping (closest noun)...hence THAT is ruled out!
I am sure the verb error you have spotted so i leave it here!
hope this was clear!?
