Answer:

C. He shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, cast up his eyes, but said nothing.

Explanation:

These phrase shows how the Dame's behavior comically affects Rip because it describes the actions he did to pretend that he was listening to his wife. The intensive hours a day he had listened to her were enough to make from his actions a custom, so  he had to shrug his shoulders, shake his head, cast up his eyes, but say nothing. In addition, he preferred to stay outside, far away from her domain .
