Final answer:
The correct answer is option c. The passage provided doesn't include characters named Pearl or Jed, nor does it specify what belongs to Jed. To answer accurately, additional context from the specific source material is required.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage you've provided from the context hints at a story set in a historical village where the protagonist, presumably named Jane, reflects on her ownership over items like wagons, merchandise, water, and land. However, this text does not specifically mention a character named Pearl nor an individual named Jed, nor does it mention anything that directly belongs to Jed.
It seems likely the text in question relates to 'Riders of the Purple Sage' by Zane Grey, where Jane Withersteen is the central character. But within the provided excerpt, we can't definitively answer what belongs to Jed, as the vital information isn't given.
