"Kiche!" the man cried again, this time with sharpness and authority.
And then the cub saw his mother, the she-wolf, the fearless one, crouching down till her belly touched the ground, whimpering, wagging her tail, making peace signs. The cub could not understand.

She is puzzled by her cub’s actions in front of the man.
She is confused about how she should act in front of the man.

The best statement that reflects the perspective of White Fang’s mother in the excerpt is:
She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.
The description indicates that she is crouching down, whimpering, and wagging her tail, which suggests submission and an attempt to appease the man rather than any confusion or intention to attack.
