The correct answer is A. Anne thinks Matthew is very kind, but Marilla is critical of him.
Explanation
According to the excerpt from "Anne of Green Gables" it can be established that Marilla's position regarding Matthew is critical of her attitude because she expresses that "... Matthew is a most ridiculous man,". Additionally, it can be established that Anne's position towards Matthew is kind since she in the fragment expresses her feelings towards Matthew by saying that "I think he is lovely," said Anne reproachfully.

Anne thinks Matthew is very kind, but Marilla is critical of him.
