Answer:

D) is revealed implicitly in the details of the story.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "Desiree's Baby." In this story, we meet an orphaned girl who is adopted by a wealthy family in Louisiana. After her marriage to a prominent man from a good family, she gives birth to a mixed-race baby. Her husband accuses her of being of mixed ancestry, and leaves her. However, the story reveals that it is he who has African ancestry. The story suggests that the events take place in the pre-Civil War era through details such as racial tensions, plantations and the importance of reputation and ancestry in the South.
