The detail that would BEST fit into this paragraph is D) Wolves are also a part of the dog family, and they are wild too.
To identify the detail that best fits into the paragraph, we need to consider the overall topic and context of the paragraph. The paragraph is discussing the similarities and differences between coyotes and dogs. It mentions that both coyotes and dogs are in the dog family, and while dogs are usually trained animals that can live with people, coyotes are wild animals that live in the woods.
Option D) Wolves are also a part of the dog family, and they are wild too, supports the topic of the paragraph by providing additional information about another animal in the dog family that is also wild. This detail reinforces the idea that not all animals in the dog family are domesticated like dogs.
