A. More chairs are needed to make seating available for all attendees.

Explanation:

An implicit detail is one that is there but is not being directly expressed. From what the narrator tells, we can imply that the room is crowed and more chairs are needed to make seating available for all attendees because 1) the narrator have committed to crossing his legs, perhaps, the room is so crowded that moving freely would be uncomfortable for him, and 2) because he mentions the others sit, stand and stand, respectively, at the periphery of my focus which expresses that there is not enough seating available for all, otherwise they would be all seated.

All the other options are not implicit details because the speaker express them more directly in the narrative:

I have committed to crossing my legs I hope carefully, ankle on knee (Option B)

The interview room’s other personnel include: the University’s Director of Composition (...) (Option C)

The tennis coach jingles pocket-change. (Option D)
