Answer: b. Demeaning
Explanation:
Demeaning someone means to speak to someone in a very disrespectful manner by insulting them with the aim being to degrade them and make them feel less dignified. It can also be done through actions.
Arachne here called the person a silly fool who is worn out and witless (stu-pid) which served to insult the person and therefore demean them. The tone is therefore demeaning.
The narrator used the word "I" meaning it's in 1st person & that the current story is being told by someone that it directly affects. For example, "I am typing an answer right now,".
