Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The book begins by creating a really well put together setting and background for the novel. Something that Harper Lee continues to subtly add to the begining of the book are the underlying rumors around Boo. This scene shows that he isn't anywhere near being the type of person the rumors make him out to be.
