Answer: A.Irawaddy’s child is born an albino.
Irawaddy is Rukmani's eldest child, and her only daughter. She marries at a young age, but is returned to her family because of her inability to bear children. Because of their poverty, Irawaddy is forced to work as a prostitute, and she eventually gets pregnant. Her child is born an albino, which causes him to be an outcast in the village, as well as a reminder of the mother's transgressions. However, Irawaddy loves him, and never loses her dignity even in the face of such adversity.
