C) she worries her father will be mad that she spent so much money on his burial.

Explanation:

Katherine Mansfield's "The Daughters of The Late Colonel" is a story about the two daughters of the colonel, Constantine and Josephine Pinner, who had to get their father's funeral over with and get his things sorted. On the day of the funeral, Josephine suddenly got upset after they had buried their father, worrying about the expenditure they had incurred just for the funeral and how much it will anger him.
