Answer:

A. Alice is noticeably confused by the White Queen’s assertion that events in the Looking-Glass land may happen in reverse.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sentence that most clearly uses words that convey a formal style. The use of words such as "assertion" and "noticeably" show that the style of the paragraph is a formal one. On the other hand, the three subsequent options employ words that convey an informal tone, such as "stuff," "kind of" and "wacky."
