I would say the correct answer is D. It captures her sense of how apartheid had divided her country against itself and turned ordinary people into enemies of one another. She was on one side and those white boys, who may as well have been her brothers, on the other. They are similar not only by the color of their skin, but also by the fact that all of them are victims of this deep social division, in one way or another.
