Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Alaska - proper noun; capitalized. Grandma by itself is a common noun, but when you pair it with a name, like Grandma Jones, it becomes a proper noun. The story's title is capitalized because otherwise it looks like part of your descriptive sentence, not its own title.
