D.“I’m going,’ she said, in a voice of querulous weakness, ‘but don’t say anything about it. Don’t wake the kids.’”

Answer 1

Based on the options you have, I'd say that the quotation that reveals a change in Mother Shipton's character is D.“I’m going,’ she said, in a voice of querulous weakness, ‘but don’t say anything about it. Don’t wake the kids.’”
All other options show her as a strong, and somewhat evil woman, whereas D shows her vulnerable and kind side.
