I believe the answer is: A. "I am sorry," he said, and patted me on the shoulder with his good hand. "I would not be rude. My wife has just died. You must forgive me."
The word resign indicates accepting some sort of feeling or situation that cannot be ignored or pushed aside. From the sentences in option A, we can infer that the reader already accept the fact that his wife has died and acknowledge that his emotion is influenced by it.
A is the answer because she's planning ahead and going to learn about the career that she is going to pursue.
When repetition is being used in a passage, the author wants you to know that whatever being repeated is a main point, a key in understanding, or the point of a concept. If something is being repeated in a question, that can help you deceiver what the question is asking, or any clues given.
I hope this helped you.
