She gathers a stack of textbooks and hands them to her students.

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The setting details in the paragraph, which have been taken from a play, which show the time period in which all these activities are taking place in the play is she gathers a stack of textbook and hands them to her students.

This setting detail tells the time period because it has been written that the teacher and the students who are a part of the play are gearing themselves up for reading a poem in the afternoon. With the help of this we get to know that all of this is happening during the afternoon time period.
