B. Dull

C. Joyful

D. Panicked

The correct answer is D) Panicked.

Explanation:

There is no passage, but the user probably meant to write the one that starts like this one:

"So now she is gone, and the servants are gone, and the things are gone, and there is nothing left but that great bedstead nailed down, with the canvas mattress we found on it We shall sleep downstairs to-night, and take the boat home to-morrow ...

If that is the case, then the right answer is Panicked

As we can see from the text above. The character strives to make a plan about what she is going to do in a basically empty room. Here, when we talk about the tone that the author uses to address the audience or readership, the only logical conclusion is "panicked" which perfectly describes the tone of the exerpt.
