D). All of the above.

Explanation:

A eulogy is defined as praise (emotional endearment) or an oration to honor a deceased person generally delivered at a funeral. As per the question, the given eulogy would be considered inappropriate for all the provided reasons that include it being excessively long, offending or upsetting women in the audience, and boasting about alcohol consumption promotes an improper tone considering the occasion. Thus, option D is the correct answer as all of them contribute to making eulogy incongruous.
