It is B because in this quote the writer is not directly coming out to say that the emotion portrayed is sadness. Instead, the writer is ALLUDING or not directly mentioning that the emotion portrayed is sadness. The purpose of allusion is to get the reader to infer and ponder on the words of the writer.
