The answer would be Where have you been mother? This is because if you replace mother with a proper pronoun such as Jean (a name) the sentence wouldn't change. For instance Where have you been Jean? See? The sentence didn't change. All the other sentences have my in front of mother, so you couldn't replace a name with it. Your mother doesn't belong to you, so you can't replace the mother in that case with a proper pronoun.
Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
The circus looks abandoned and empty. But you think perhaps you can smell caramel
wafting through the evening breeze, beneath the crisp scent of the autumn leaves. ...
The people around you are growing restless from waiting, a sea of shuffling feet,
murmuring about abandoning the endeavor in search of someplace warmer to pass the
evening. You yourself are debating departing when it happens.
