Answer:

C. Elisa is confident and strong, yet somewhat restless in her current situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In John Steinbeck's story, "The Chrysanthemums," the character of Elisa is a confusing one. She shows clashing conduct all through the story. At first she is seen wearing questionable garments, tending her blossoms. At the point when the tinker arrives, she communicates intrigue - and perhaps envy- - at his life out and about.

She is attracted to being free similar to a man. When he gets some information about her blossoms she gets energized as she discusses them. Afterward, when she understands he couldn't have cared less about the bloom she gave him and discarded it, she feels absurd. Elisa inquires as to whether she can go to a battle later- - if the men hurt one another and if there will be blood. Her craving to see a manly game and witness brutality, mirrors her displeasure and disappointment at being confined in her job as a lady. Thus, she is all the more a repressed woman, despite the fact that she aches to be a tough person.
