The correct option is C) The boat pulls away from the habor.

As the boat pulls away from the habor with many still on land swimming toward the Nova Scotia, the narrator makes a transition from the present to the past then back to the present in paragraph 20 all the while reporting in the second-person point of view the story of freedom of Dorothy who is officially now known as Alexander Freeman.
