Hey there! I believe the answer you are looking for is D. her wish to buy a Christmas present for Jim. I know this because in the story, Jim sells his watch to buy her her favorite combs, while she still feels as though she hasn't paid him back in presents. I hope this helped!

Thanks, and have a nice day!
