This scene takes place after Jane’s cousin John strikes her, causing her to fall and hit her head.

My head still ached and bled with the blow and fall I had received: no one had reproved John for wantonly striking me; and because I had turned against him to avert farther irrational violence, I was loaded with general opprobrium.
“Unjust!—unjust!” said my reason, forced by the agonising stimulus into precocious though transitory power.
–Jane Eyre,
Charlotte Brontë

The Correct answer is C: "Jane thinks that her treatment is unfair and she will always be at the mercy of her cousins and aunt."

Hope this helps :]
