D.  Gilman wanted to illustrate to her readers how the rest cure could seriously damage a person.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman had gone through the ''rest cure'' which was a method prescribed to cure women of ''hysteria''. It consisted of them not doing any physical activity and just resting with no physical, creative or intellectually stimulating activities.

Ms. Gilman hated this treatment and based the short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper", on this treatment. In using a first person perspective she wanted the readers to see just how much the rest cure could affect and damage a person because the readers would get to observe a first person glance at the deterioration of the mind.

the correct answer is:

this is an example of the writer telling through description rather than showing through dialogue.

sometimes writers like to explain explicitely what's happening instead of adding dialogues of the situations., which is the case in this passage,
