The answer is choice B.

I think this is the answer because of context clues like "ghastly stare of pity and remorse". This phrase tells us about the character's emotion. If you analyze the statement, you will have to think what caused her to feel that way. Among all the choices, this is the likely answer because when you have learned the consequence of your mistakes, you usually get a feeling of remorse and guilt.
