Option C.

In the text, she was pretty envious of rich wealthy people which is why she went to her rich friend to borrow some jewelry and clothing (I'm not sure if she did) for the ball. She also dreamed to be beautiful and admired, her being prettier than every other women fufilled her wish as she had many compliments for her looks.

!!NOTE!!- Its been a while since I last read this passage, so my answer may not be as accurate. please keep that in mind
