The notion that Oak Island might be home to pirate treasure had long been part of local lore. This idea got a jumpstart in 1795 when, according to accounts, a young man walking on the beach saw a low depression in the ground. This circular spot made it look like a hole had been dug and filled in again. Furthermore, it appeared that a nearby tree had once supported a pulley system, which can be used to raise or lower heavy things by rope.
Read the passage.

In paragraph 3, the young man most likely believed that the pulley system had been used to

A
raise sand and earth from the pit.

B
release water into the pit.

C
lower a camera into the pit.

D
lower treasure into the pit.
