I think that the author intended D. to give the reader an understanding of life in Missy's rural Kentucky town. 

The author's use of phrases like "ugly as a mud stick fence," "pie-faced heavy girl," "for-pay ironing," and "dressed like an eye test." is simply to show how Missy thinks and speaks. She is a girl who is brutal and honest in her opinion and she doesn't mince words. She just tells what she sees as it is.  

d is the correct answer
