Explanation:

In Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have five daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. Throughout the book, the narrator makes it clear that the parents do not regard all their daughters equally. Mr. Bennet has a clear favoritism toward Elizabeth. They have similarities in their personalities in the sense that they are both very clever and capable of amusing themselves even in absurd situations. Mrs. Bennet, on the other hand, has the sole purpose of seeing all her five daughters married, and does not care very much for intelligence. He favorite ones are Jane and Lydia. Jane is mild tempered and extremely beautiful, and Lydia is funny and outgoing - her impertinence goes unnoticed by her mother. Thus, the best option is letter B, since the couple shows favoritism toward particular daughters in their interactions throughout the book.
