Answer:
Option B. The statement suggests that Amy Foster's husband is dead.
Step-by-step explanation:
In line 15 of the short-story "Amy Foster", written by Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad, that was first published in December 1901, when Dr. Kennedy says "Her husband used to be" he is making a reference about Amy Foster's husband. The fact that he talks about him in the past tense suggests that the man has passed away.
