B. Mini is the joy of the narrator's life, and her departure will leave a void.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Tagore's "Cabuliwallah", Mini's father, the narrator of the story, talks about his daughter's wedding that takes place during the Puja holiday, at the end of which, according to Hindu mythology, Durga returns to Mount Kailas.

Comparing this event to his daughter's departure from his home after wedding, he stresses the loss he will suffer after the leaving of his beloved daughter.

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."

the anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage.
