Complete answer:
Here, the given situation is “Erika’s pet dog is missing”. When she drafts an advertisement she needs to be specific about the information so that it helps someone to find the dog.
Now let us look into the given options:
Option A) Description of the appearance of the dog - This should be given, so that the person who sees that dog can immediately report or contact Erika about the dog. It can be a good appearance description about the colour of the dog or if the dog is wearing a collar etc.
Option B) Her contact number and address - This should be given, so that the person who wants to report should have a number or the address where he/she can give the dog.
Option C) Reward - It can also be given to attract people.
Option D) Pet’s favourite food - This is not necessary because it is irrelevant to the given topic.

Therefore, the correct option is ‘D’ i.e, Pet’s favourite food.
