Answer:
D. She knows her parenting methods are flawed.
Explanation:
It's hard to choose between D. or C. without greater context of the story (and it's already difficult, despite my familiarity with the Helen Keller story). However, the answer lends itself to D because of the phrase, "then, tiredly" as well as, "we haven't the heart for much else, and so many times she simply cannot be compelled." This indicates resignation and recognition of a flawed system. Her apologizing to her teacher, Miss Annie, is another admission that the existing framework is substandard.
