E. Cummings describes the balloonman as "goat-footed" because (D) He is making an allusion to the Greek god Pan and his pipes.

The Greek god, Pan, was half man and half-goat. Whenever he blew his pipes in the Spring, all the little wood creatures would come out, which would symbolize the coming of Spring.

The answer is D. He is making an allusion to the Greek god Pan and his pipes.
