hi,
according to meaning context ornithologist mistook the call of MB with the call of some other RST bird.
secondly we have mistook in non underlined part ....and as per the idiom ..mistook - for is the correct idiom.
on the basis of idiom we can eliminate
A,C=>MISTOOK AS==wrong idiom.
NOW left with B,D,and E
E==>calling is compared to RST BIRD
D==>MISTOOK THE CALLING FOR .....this one is unidiomatic.
hence option B
KUDOS if it helped.
