    I believe it's B and or C

    Explanation:

    Horribly is a negative adverb, but added to modify the adjective, good, it creates a sense of negativity and positivity.

    "Horribly" means that the girl was shockingly good, and this surprising meaning catches the children's attention.

    "Horribly" emphasizes the girl's goodness, but it is normally a negative definition that implies that there is something awful about being so good.
