B

The dialogue centers on a debate about tactics: Katherine urging stronger action while the other women set or resist limits. It creates an internal conflict over what to do next rather than primarily describing hostility from the mayor’s office (A) or simply producing a mood of gloom (C) or inspiration (D).
