D) her values because most people's values show through their actions
There's plenty of evidence in the story that arguments her point of view. The irony in "Story of an hour" is a good example of how women were treated and expected to behave. She was thought to be depressed and sad about his husband's death but she's actually happy and cheerful about the good news of his death. Although she feels joyful, she can't understand her feelings because she knows she's not expected to feel that way. Another good example is the ending, everyone thinks she died because of joy at seeing his husband alive but in fact, she may have died from a heart attack because her happiness only lasted for an hour. Society's expectations and pressures on women are still a present issue. Beauty standards, gender roles, and the fashion industry are just a little few examples of how society shapes women's lives. Social media, propaganda and the fashion industry show women of a certain race, age and body type. They just stick the beauty standards and these tell women how they should be in order to have beauty, but it doesn't encourage them to love themselves as they are.
Another example is the thought that a woman without a husband is miserable and incomplete. Her family thinks that he's destroyed because her husband should be her whole world but actually she doesn't care about being lonely at all, she just thinks about her freedom. The society's pressure for getting married has changed a bit but it differs in many countries and societies. However, it is still a present issue that women are not taken seriously when they said they won't get married or have children. They are thought has selfish because of having a different perspective and plan for their lives different from the one everyone expects them to follow.

Stress can weaken the immune system and cause high blood pressure, fatigue, depression, anxiety and even stroke.
People who are at peace with themselves are kind. As described by shame expert Brené Brown, criticism is a coping mechanism used by people who feel unworthy. It's purpose is to shift the spotlight off of oneself and onto someone or something else in an effort to feel safe.
Although both forms are challenging your ideas, character or ability, when someone is giving destructive criticism it can hurt your pride and have negative effects on your self-esteem and confidence. Destructive criticism can, in some cases, lead to anger and/or aggression. Probably a "hypercritic" - a person who is excessively or captiously critical. Or "hypercritical" as an adjective.
Being critical of others leads to low self-esteem because it's really just a form of procrastination—briefly distracting yourself with a little pleasure but shirking your responsibility to address your real issues.
