Answer:
The answer is d): spied on people and spread gossip.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the narrative, it can be noticed that among the options given, the best option that expresses wrongdoing on the woman's part, is the one that provides a reason why she was punished or changed into an owl: d) she spied on people and spread gossip/slander.
Her punishment was as a result of the gossip she spread. She was aware of the reason for her punishment and advised people not to slander because the evil they see in other people’s homes would also visit them.
The other options (a, b, and c) are not correct; firstly, because the woman didn’t say her prayers; she mumbled them. Secondly, the fable didn’t make reference to the woman “doing or not doing her work”. Lastly, the fable didn’t state that she flew on a broom, or that god punished her because she flew on a broom.
