This question is missing the passage. I have found the complete question online. Below is the missing excerpt:

Read the excerpt from the story "Mami and Papi (from When I Was Puerto Rican)." “Negi, come help in the kitchen.” I pretended not to hear but felt her eyes bore holes in the back of my head. Papi stepped between us. “Let her stay. I can use the help.” I peered between his legs and saw her squint and pucker her lips as if she were about to spit. He chuckled, “Heh, heh,” and she whirled toward the kitchen shed, where the fire in the fogón was almost out.

Answer:

What the interaction shows is:

C. They may disagree, but they also compromise.

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing here, Mami and Papi want Negi to do different things. They clearly disagree as to what she is supposed to do, but they do not argue. Notice that no fight follows Papi's statement that he needs Negi there with him. Instead, Mami simply goes to the kitchen shed. She is upset, but she compromises. Having that in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option:

C. They may disagree, but they also compromise.

Answer:
