Answer:

c) It explains the author’s feeling that she is not important to her father

Explanation:

From the passage of <em>Only Daughter, </em>the narrator talks about how her father is always boasting or complaining to everyone that cared to listen that he has seven sons. He would tell the parish priest, the Sears Roebuck employee, the cook, and any other person within reach.

This action of the narrator's father shows that she does not feel important to her father because everything he ever boasts about is his "seven sons" without even acknowledging her.
