Answer:

D. She realizes that she only has managed to save less than $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas."

"There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it."
