The answer is: B.She pretends to be the brothel owner

After the bridge is blown by rebels and the military forces find out that Manuel's grandmother was doing intelligence to provide the rebels with information, Granny disguises herself as a brothel-owner to avoid capture and later runs away in a canoe carrying munitions for the rebel forces.
