Answer: D) Comforted.

Explanation: Based on the given excerpt from Patricia Smith's "Talking Wrong" instead of being ashamed of her mother's accent (like other people could be when a close person doesn't talk or behave the way everyone else do, in the country or region where they live), she seems to be comforted by the way her mother talked, because she compared her accent with a beautiful view of the Alabama fields.
