Answer:
B. The Duke's last wife, immortalized in a painting, offended her husband's sense of
self-importance with her friendliness, eventually resulting in her questionable end.
Explanation:
This question refers to Robert Browning's famous poem "My Last Duchess".
The story's set in Duke's palace where the Count's emissary has come to arrange the details between Count's daughter and the Duke's marriage.
As the Duke show the emissary his palace, they stand in front of Duke's last wife's portrait and he tells his story of her.
We see that Duke was bothered by the Duchess's "over-friendliness" and that she was more impressed with other men's romantic gestures towards her than with her husband's old and respected family name ( this emohasizes his narcissistic character). This resulted in her mysterious death.
We can not judge her potential lack of loyalty, because the story is told from the perspective of a self-centered, egoistic man, whose depiction of events doesn't have to be true.
All we can infer from the poem is that her friendly nature and free behavior resulted in her death, probably by her jealous husband's hand.
