The correct answer is B. The mother waited quietly, twisting her ring around a pale finger.

Explanation:

In traditional syntax, sentences should follow a subject and predicate order, which means the sentence should include first the subject, then the main or verbs and finally the object or any other element that serves to explain the verb and complete the idea of the sentence. Considering this, the sentence with the most traditional sentence is "The mother waited quietly, twisting her ring around a pale finger" because this is the only one that includes first the subject "the mother", then the main verb "waited" and then other elements that explain the verb. On the other hand, other options do not follow this order or are grammatically incorrect.
