Answer:

The correct answer is C: “Will you buy my hair?’' asked Della.

Explanation:

This story describes a young couple, Jim and Della. They are poor and they live in a modest apartment with low incomes.

During Christmas Eve, Della decides to buy Jim a present - a chain for his pocket watch, but she cannot afford it because it is not so cheap as she first thought. She decides to sell her beautiful, long hair in order to afford money for Jim's present.  

Her decision to sell her hair provides the best insight into her feelings for Jim, so the correct answer would be C.
