Explanation:

The passage you were given is the following excerpt from Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper":

It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight.

I see her in that long shaded lane, creeping up and down. I see her in those dark grape arbors, creeping all around the garden.

I see her on that long road under the trees, creeping along, and when a carriage comes she hides under the blackberry vines.

I don't blame her a bit. It must be very humiliating to be caught creeping by daylight!

I always lock the door when I creep by daylight. I can't do it at night, for I know John would suspect something at once.

The correct answer is C. We can see that based on the last paragraph. At first, the narrator describes the woman from the wallpaper, who, according to her, creeps by daylight. In the end. she says: I always lock the door when I creep by daylight. This indicates that, in fact, she was talking about herself all this time as she saw a reflection of herself in the woman from the wallpaper and empathized with her.

Statement D is incorrect, as the narrator says: I don't blame her a bit, and then reveals that she herself creeps by daylight, although many women don't.

There is no information in the excerpt indicating that statements A and B could be correct.

she learned to understand that physical beauty wasn’t as important as being a good person.
