Answer: The correct answer is option D. "Granny’s jilting has overshadowed her life"

Explanation: In the short story "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne Porter, Granny is an octogenarian that suffers a serious illness and decides to go through unfinished business before she dies. As the story unfolds Granny starts to realize all the things she has missed and all the things she would like to do. The fact that the weather changes during the story is a symbolism of how she has spent her life jilting for different reasons.
