For irrepressible, with the prefix "ir" meaning not, and the sufix Ible, It could be either one. But I would say A BECAUSE the word itself means "not able to be pressed" and it wouldn't make sense for something you cant to to be able to do, as D would say. Hope this helped!
A possible disadvantage to hearing this scene as opposed to reading it silently is the Mrs. Hale may not be present and can be misinterpreted incorrectly.
