Answer:
B. The narrator's mental state
B. feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape
Explanation:
"The Yellow Wallpaper" describes the declining mental health of a woman most likely suffering from post-partum depression. She becomes increasingly obsessed with the patterns of the yellow wallpaper in her bedroom, and starts to believe she can see a creeping woman, trapped behind it.
From the options provided, the one that correctly explains what the wallpaper symbolizes is the narrator's mental state, because the narrator (the woman writing her diary) is having a mental breakdown; the problem is not her social status, physical health, or the relationship with her husband.
From the options provided, the one that correctly explains what the narrator projects onto the woman creeping behind the wallpaper is the feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape because she has been forced to "rest" and is not allowed to leave.
Is not boredom, because she could have lots of things to do in a normal situation, nor anxiety for her baby, because that is not something she expresses and is not a lack of company what she doesn´t like, as she would much prefer to be left alone.
