Answer:

C. “'I expect it was the spaniel...'”

Explanation:

This is the phrase which contributes most to the humour in the story. In this story, the niece is talking about the reason for a person to "lose his nerve." The first words she utters blame a cocker spaniel for this insanity. This is a humorous idea, as the reason seems to be unusual and trivial, and unlikely to have such an effect on a person.
