D. She asks Framton if Vera has been amusing him.

Explanation:

In this story, we meet Framton, who is visiting Mrs. Sappleton and her niece Vera. As Mrs. Sappleton leaves the niece and Framton for a little while, Vera tells Framton a story. The story is false, and she does so with the purpose of amusing herself. However, Framton believes all of it. As Mrs. Sappleton comes back, she asks Framton whether Vera has been amusing him. The question indicates that Mrs. Sappleton is aware of Vera's storytelling ability and that she most likely finds this ability amusing.
