The statement which best explains why readers get a sense of satisfaction from the story's resolution is:

D. Roger has learned that he can be trusted and valued.

Explanation:

Roger and Mrs. Jones are characters in the short story "Thank You, Ma'am," by author Langston Hughes. Roger is a teenage boy who tries to steal Mrs. Jones's purse. Instead of screaming for the police or simply beating Roger - Mrs. Jones is a strong woman -, she brings him home with her.

The story revolves around Roger learning a lesson. To his surprise, Mrs. Jones treats him well. Even though her words aren't said in a kind manner, there is kindness in her intentions. She tells him to go wash up and to comb his hair. While he does that, she cooks him dinner. Mrs. Jones tells him there was no need to try and steal from her. He could have asked for some money if he needed it instead.

Her behavior and what it means to Roger give readers a sense of satisfaction. They know Mrs. Jones has left a mark in Roger's life and that, most likely, he won't rob people from now on. He now knows he can be trusted and valued.
