Final answer:
Mrs. Gardiner and Mr. Wickham both have a close connection to Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice', fulfilling answer option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question you're asking about pertains to characters from Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. Specifically, you want to know what Mrs. Gardiner and Mr. Wickham have in common.
The answer is C) They both have a close connection to Mr. Darcy. Mrs. Gardiner is the aunt of Elizabeth Bennet, who eventually marries Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Wickham is connected to Mr.
Darcy through their shared childhood and as his adversary. Neither character is known for coming from a wealthy family or having a talent for playing the piano, and while Mrs. Gardiner is a distant relative of Elizabeth (making option A true for her).
It is not true for Wickham, making option C the best choice reflecting what both characters have in common.
