Immediately after he commits the murder, the narrator feels very calm and confident, he describes the whole situation in which he disarmed the body:
<em>First I cut off the head, then the arms and the legs. I was careful not to let a single drop of blood fall on the floor. I pulled up three of the boards that formed the floor, and put the pieces of the body there. Then I put the boards down again, carefully, so carefully that no human eye could see that they had been moved.</em>
Then, while he is talking to the officers, he starts feeling guilty, so guilty that he imagines the sound of the heart beating. He thinks that the officers can also hear the sound and that they are setting a trap. He ends up confessing the murder:
<em>No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could bear, from their smiles, and from that sound. Louder, louder, louder! Suddenly I could bear it no longer. I pointed at the boards and cried, “Yes! Yes, I killed him. Pull up the boards and you shall see! I killed him. But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?</em>
The correct option is C.
From the sentence given above, it can be inferred that Sheralyn did not really like the idea that Dominic has a new sport car and she is probably feeling jealous of Dominic because of his car. When Dominic left the parking lot, Sheralyn was happy that people will no longer notice that Dominic has a new sport car.
So, Sheralyn was uttering the statement given in the question in order to express her strong feelings of jealousy but she said it in such a way that mask her true feelings.
