Answer:

B. Lucy corners Elinor and tells her of her secret engagement to Edward.

Explanation:

Lucy is just used as a tool to show Elinor's tolerance and the fact that Edward is very immature. Lucy is actually the whom Edward has been engaged to. The engagement lasted for about four years, but Edward breaks it off after their engagement is discovered.
