Answer:
D. A story about a performer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given passage, the speaker/ narrator talks about how (s)he was "actually an awkward and disobedient child" before. (S)he also admitted that (s)he hasn't "always been as beloved by audiences".
By the use of the word "audiences", we can assume that the speaker is talking about public performance, or having to do with any public act. This suggests that the lines given are most likely to be the book’s opening lines or a story about a performer.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
