Please help Read the following paragraphs from "The Women's Baths."
In my grandmother's opinion the market baths had a delicious ambience about them which we, who had never experienced it, could not appreciate.

For our part we were afraid that the old lady might slip on the wet floor of the baths—this has often happened to people who go there—and break her leg, as her seventy years had made her bones dry and stiff; or she might catch a severe chill coming outside from the warm air of the baths and contract a fatal illness as a result. But how could we convince this stubborn old lady of the cogency of these arguments?

It was quite out of the question that she should give up a custom to which she had adhered for seventy years, and she had done so without ever once having been stricken with the mishaps we feared. Grandmother had made up her mind that she would keep up this custom as long as she was able to walk on her own two feet, and her tenacity in clinging to her point of view only increased the more my mother tried to reason with her.
After reading these paragraphs, which of the following can the reader most likely conclude about the situation?
A. The family is unjustifiably concerned about the safety of its matriarch.
B. The grandmother enjoys taking a position that puts her at odds with her daughter-in-law.
C. The grandmother is angry that her family insists she give up her monthly visits to the baths.
D. The family regards its grandmother's visits to the baths as a worrisome inconvenience.
