When daisy miller: a study was first published, what was the initial reaction to daisy’s character? a. critics mourned her death b. critics were upset that daisy and winterbourne never fell in love c. critics were frustrated by her naivete d. critics considered her behavior an outrage

The correct answer is D. critics considered her behavior an outrage.
Daisy Miller is known for her flirtatiousness - she flirted shamelessly with Winterbourne which was obviously an outrage for the time period when Henry James wrote it in late 19th century. This is the reason why critics were so appalled by her public behavior, although that obviously changed over time.
