Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Thank You Ma'am' is a short story written by Langston Hughes. The story is about a boy named Roger, who tries to steal Mrs. Jones purse and later she took him home and made him understand things better and showed compassion to the boy, and taught him a good life lesson as well.

When Mrs. Jones told Roger her story of her past of how she also desired things and did things that she could not share with him or even God. This helped Roger realize that Mrs. Jones understand him. After Mrs. Jones narrated her past story, her story made Roger yearn for her trust and respect. That's why when he had a chance to run away, he sat where she could see him.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
