Answer:

C. Abigail accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft out of jealousy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Abigail makes it look like Elizabeth is practicing witchcraft by claiming that Elizabeth sticks needles in the poppet that Mary Warren gave Elizabeth in order to cause Abigail pain. Elizabeth Proctor is accused of witchcraft by Abigail Williams because Abigail wants to marry Elizabeth’s husband. One can infer from this that Abigail might be jealous of Elizabeth's ties to her husband, John.
