The correct answer is C, regionalism
Regionalism is writing in such a way as to convey the "local color" of a place. In this excerpt, the characteristics of the speaker's hometown are conveyed by the way he speaks, or his dialect.
Based on the given passage describes Jane crashing into Mrs. Miller's car as she thought to herself, "How could I not have seen Mrs. Miller’s van? Out of all the vehicles in this parking lot, I had to back into my Spanish teacher’s?”, but the tone of Mrs. Miller was quite jovial
<h3>What is a Tone?</h3>
This refers to the attitude of an author that is used to tell a story that has a profound effect on the narration which affects the general atmosphere of the scene, also known as the mood of the text.
Hence, it can be seen that when Mrs. Miller realized that her car was dented by Jane, she was jovial about it and acknowledged that she was aware that it was a mistake, and was quite helpful to suggest calling the insurance company to come to fix it up.
Therefore, option A is the right answer.
