Answer:

B). As a woman, Nora cannot borrow money, but she does so behind her husband's back in order to save him.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given excerpt from 'A Doll's House' authored by Henrik Ibsen reflects the theme(central idea) of 'societal pressure confining the roles of woman' which is most appropriately developed through the second option. Nora is forbidden to borrow money or seek a loan. She asks for the loan to save her husband but she could not reveal it to him as she knew that 'he would not accept it' which reflects the height of societal margins for women. Thus, it advances the theme and hence, option B is the correct answer.
