Answer:

A). Unselfish

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given excerpt, Miller's daughter can best be expressed as 'unselfish' as despite her father has lied and deliberately dragged her in this entire situation. This quality is clearly reflected when she is 'grieving sorely at her misfortune' but doesn't break her loyalty towards her father. However, she later turns cruel when she does everything she could to protect herself and offers her first child in return for the queen's title. But in the given excerpt, she could be considered 'unselfish' as she doesn't expose the follies of her father. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
