Answer: D suggesting the intensity of Mrs. Pontellier's feelings about the confrontation

Step-by-step explanation:

Léonce not only shows his disappointment at his wife for not paying enough attention to him when he comes back from the Club but also reprimands her for her “habitual neglect of the children,” based on the supposed fever of one of their children. Mrs. Pontellier crying and leaving the bedroom to sit on the porch shows how much that confrontation affected her.
