A) She was concerned that Louise was alone and crying.

Since Louise has a heart condition, she is pretty fragile. Naturally, Louise's sister would be concerned about her receiving news about her husband's death. She begins to cry upon hearing the news, but little does Josephine know that it is not out of sadness.
