Answer:
<u>The correct answer is (A) She wants to protect her unborn child.</u>
Explanation:
Mary is about six months pregnant when she finds out that her husband is going to leave her.
This comes as a shock to her. She is very agitated and impulsive at this point.
Hence in the heat of the moment, she kills her husband.
<em>She did not want to go to prison because she can not bear the fact that they will take her child away from her.</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>She even thinks that they might kill her unborn child.</em>
She could not bear the thought of this, hence she decided to cover up the murder.
