Read the excerpt from paragraph 3.

To us Indians she was a more or less legendary figure endowed with wonderful attributes, an ideal ruler, and an ideal woman, linked to our hearts across "the black water" by silken chains of love and loyalty. I looked at Her Majesty anxiously, and my first impression instantly dispelled my nervousness: a short, stout lady dressed in mourning who came forward and kissed me twice. I made a deep curtsy, and walked a step backward, and then my husband came forward and bent low over the Queen's hand. I experienced a feeling, as did every one with whom Her late Majesty came in contact, that she possessed great personal magnetism, and she certainly was the embodiment of dignity. Her conversation was simple and kindly, and every word revealed her queen, woman and mother.

Which detail explains when the Maharini stopped feeling nervous when meeting Queen Victoria?
The Maharini stopped feeling nervous when
A. Her husband walked to the Queen and bowed
B. The Queen spoke to her using kind and simple language
C. She curtsied to the Queen and took a step back
D. She saw the Queen and experienced her affection
