Which detail from the story "The Gift of the Magi" best supports the inference that Della is proud of her hair? A) "A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art."

B) "Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts." C) "So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters." D) "It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her."
