It is A- She is frightened and implies that Charlie may be involved.
Explanation:
Well if you read the book or watch the show it is obvious. If someone was angry they wouldn't be talking in a hushed voice to threaten someone so it isn't B. She wasn't curious because the whole play or book was about accusing this person and that person about if they're the alien or not.

The climax of the story is reached when Percy and Annabeth arrive on Polyphemus' island. They were forced to fight Polyphemus in order to rescue Grover and retrieve the Golden Fleece.
