C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C. Way of carrying herself

When a person has poise, what that generally means is that a person has a certain sense of confidence, courage, and/or boldness that leans more toward a conviction of purpose than toward an audacious arrogance. As such, what poise means in this instance is probably “C. Way of carrying herself.” It would, thus, not really apply to wardrobe or cadence in speech.
