Which sentence from "the yellow wallpaper" best contributes to the disgusted tone?

A. there is one that commands the road, a lovely shaded winding road, and that just looks off over the country.

B. The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smoldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight. It is dull yet lurid orange in some places, a sickly sulfur tint to others.

C. John is kept in town very often by serious cases, and Jennie is good and lets me alone when i want her to.

D. a colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, i would say a haunted house, and reach the height of romantic felicity - but that would be asking to much of fate!

Tone is the author's attitude to the passage. Therefore, if you already know that the tone is 'disgusted', what answer fits in with that? A. using the wording of 'lovely'. That is the opposite of disgusted. B. uses 'repellent' and revolting. Those are synonyms to disgusted. That is a good choice. Looking a C, this does not apply to disgusted. D. uses words like 'romantic'. B is the only logical choice here.
