Self-importance is an exaggerated sense of ones own value/importance.
This is kind of an opinion based question, but C and D both seem good. Personally I'd go with D since it talks about how much an heirloom is worth, but that's me. C also seems good.
From which statement could you conclude as self important?
A. "I didn't bother making a note of it because I always do it."
B. "Maybe you thought you heard forty when I said thirty."
C. "I excelled in mathematics. He gets that from his mother."
D. " the saucer was an heirloom. It cost much more, but let it go. "
Is the answer C?
Thank you

Regardless of what Irving says, as a tutor, I'd agree with you for C.
D is about the importance of the saucer, not the speaker, so can't be self-important.

Agrees with above.
