Answer:

A). Herself

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given passage 'Nobody...door closed' from the poem 'Hanging Fire' by Audre Lorde, the speaker is talking to 'herself.' She is a fourteen-year old girl who is sharing her thoughts as well as fears and concerns that she worries about. she reveals her thought to the readers that she 'should have been on the Math team' and 'she has nothing to wear tomorrow' while at the same time, she discloses her concern about wearing braces and dilemmas 'why do I have to be?' and anxiety of death 'will I live long enough to grow and momma's in the bedroom with door closed?' Thus, option A is the correct answer.
