Nah, sorry, but that B is not acceptable. He can't possibly be seeing that. Where is the harpoon? An Aborigine throwing a boomerang, that I can see, but....
And that D is a no-effort guess. Andy Medieval mariner would say that.

Are we supposed to see glyphs/letters or go full force superzoom "they would have needed a microscope to do this" pareidolia?
( A ) is a bit harder, but could be a toad with big eyes:

( D ) is a very good life like portrait of the author of the Voynich MS sitting at the desk, nice find!

As an aside, I am always skeptical when it comes to recognizing things by zooming in on the VMS. The page format of the manuscript is rather small at 225 x 160 mm, and even the commonly available reprints are relatively large in format. When zooming in, you can “recognize” all sorts of things, and some researchers seriously derive assumptions or insights from this. In my opinion, this often crosses the line into pareidolia. If you try to recognize things for fun, as in this thread, then everything is fine, but when it comes to serious observations, you should always do them with a healthy dose of cautiousness.
