Explanation:
Option B is correct because it tells of what a reader can learn from the underlined sentence.
From the underlined sentence, it's revealed that Marissa <u>carefully created</u> the project. The underlined phrase will mean that for Marissa to have carefully created the project, that means she touched and handled it in a a delicate and with care. This then means that it was fragile; fragile objects are actually handled in a delicate way and with care.
