C.she invites him into her garden.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

In the story "Chrysanthememus" by John Steinbeck, we can see that Elisa trusts the stranger because she invites him into her garden.

She is charmed by him when he tells her he simply "follows good weather" and then is even more enchanted when he starts asking about her beloved Chrysanthemums.
