PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE BRAINIEST TO THE RIGHT ANSWERS

Reading the following passage from "The Women's Baths."

In our house I was the observer of a relentless, even though hidden, struggle between mother-in-law and daugher-in-law: between my grandmother, who clung to her position in the household and was resolved under no circumstances to relinquish it, and my mother, who strove to take her place.

Although girls usually side with their mother, I had a strong feeling of sympathy for my grandmother: old age had caught up with her since her husband had died some time before and left her a widow, and little by little her authority in the home shrank as my mother's authority gradually extended. It is the law of life: one takes, then one hands over to another in one's turn. But that does not mean we obey the law readily and willingly.

After reading these paragraphs, the reader can most likely conclude that the speaker

a. encourages her grandmother's attempts to retain her dignity
b. understands the true nature of the shift in power in her household
c. is uncomforable with the transfer of authority within the household
d. feels torn between his grandmother and mother
