Hi!

The answer is A. The narrator's description of the wallpaper in the tale "The Yellow Wallpaper" reveals that the character feels a great deal of pressure to behave a certain way, as if everyone is always watching her.

To contrast that this is the best answer for this question, you can go to the scene where the narrator tries to rip of the yellow wallpaper. According to her, there is a picture of a woman within the wallpaper, and the narrator feels like that woman is trapped, much like how she feels. Since she can't save herself, she at least tries to save the woman on the wallpaper by ripping it to set her free.
