Answer:

C. With a look of fear and surprise, the niece gazed out the open window.

Step-by-step explanation:

This option correctly combines the two sentences by using a participial phrase, "With a look of fear and surprise," at the beginning of the sentence. The participial phrase provides additional information about the niece's appearance and sets the context for the main action of gazing out the window.
