In my opinion, the correct answer would be B. She is resilient and takes difficulties in stride. We don't see that Phoenix is particularly optimistic, and she certainly doesn't feel more at home in the city. Her confidence in her strength is not realistic. She just does what she feels she must do, and is resilient just like her name says - Phoenix is the mythical bird that burns to death and arises from the ashes.
