Read the excerpt from chapter 32 of The Awakening.

The pigeon house pleased her. It at once assumed the intimate character of a home, while she herself invested it with a charm which it reflected like a warm glow. There was with her a feeling of having descended in the social scale, with a corresponding sense of having risen in the spiritual. Every step which she took toward relieving herself from obligations added to her strength and expansion as an individual. She began to look with her own eyes; to see and to apprehend the deeper undercurrents of life. No longer was she content to "feed upon opinion" when her own soul had invited her.

The answer is C. The move shows that she is becoming more concerned with growing as a person than keeping up with appearances.

As part of her journey to find her true identity as an individual, this would also apply to us. That we should learn not to please everybody but ourselves first, part of growing is being able to stand on your own, for what you believe and being able to find your self without being influenced or for the sake of others.
