This wise man put me to bed and applied the rest cure, to which a still-good physique responded so promptly that he concluded there was nothing much the matter with me, and sent me home with solemn advice to "live as domestic a life as far as possible," to "have but two hours' intellectual life a day," and "never to touch pen, brush, or pencil again" as long as I lived.

    I believe that it is D because in the passage, it said that the "wise man" told her to live a domestic life, which I assumed to be a life you spend cooking and cleaning for your husband. Also, he said for her not to touch a pen, pencil, or paper ever agin which were intellectual tools.
