Answer:

D.

selfishness

Step-by-step explanation:

From the drama "Fourteen", Mrs Horace Pringle sets up a dinner party to introduce her daughter Elaine to city's most eligible bachelor Mr Oliver Farnsworth, but weather conditions force some of her guests, including Mr Farnsworth to cancel and this upsets her.

She is selfish because she wants the best for her daughter and becomes bitter when her plans fail.
