Answer:

B. They are both apprehensive about journeys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edith Wharton's "A Journey" is about a newly married couple's journey back to their hometown, also meaning the death of the husband. He had been sick and now that there is no more hope for his recovery, the doctor had told them they can go home, indirect reference to the coming death of the husband.

"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne also tells the story of a husband's journey that his wife is reluctant and worried about. The journey proved to be dangerous for he encountered the devil and a witch and saw his wife tied to a stake to be burned.

Both stories shows the reluctance of the wives with the journeys that are about to be undertaken. And rightly so, they turned out to be a sad experience. As such, the apprehensive nature of wives about the journeys.
