Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is D. In early mentions of Tante Rose's aversion to two-wheelers. Tante Rose's great fear of bicycles is foreshadowed through early mentions of her aversion to two-wheelers. This is evident from the passage: 'At all the seasons which should have been their happiest...he invariably...reverted to this one disastrous topic...
