Answer:

A. Dee has distanced herself so much from her mother and Maggie that seeing their house was like seeing an exhibit in a museum.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this story, we learn that Maggie and Dee are very different people. While Maggie is traditional and enjoys being close to home, Dee has distanced herself from her family and adopted a very different lifestyle. One of the ways in which we can see this distance is by the fact that Dee takes pictures of her mother and Maggie, as if the two of them were exhibits, and not her family. This can also be seen in the opinion that she has about what should happen to the quilts.
