Answer:

D.

Explanation:

"Everyday Use" is a short story written by Alice Walker. The story is told from the point view of 'Mama', mother of two very differnt daughters.

As the story begins, Mama begins to recall about the relationship and difference between her two daughters, Dee and Maggie. Maggie and Mama live together and are seen waiting for the arrival of her elder daughter, Dee.

Dee wanted to live outside her ancestry and wanted to pursue higher education. She was bitter towards the poor conditions of her family. Mama recalls that how Dee became descending towards her mother and sister as she became educated.

Mama, in the story, observes how different are the views of Dee and Maggie towards the family heritage and history. For Dee, the ancestoral possessions are mere artifacts that she gathers from her family, but for Maggie, she knows the value of those possessions. And, at the end, we also come to know that Maggie was the one who gets the ancestoral shawl, and not Dee, for she despised it.

So, the correct answer is option D.
