The interaction between Mathilde and Madame Forestier in "The Necklace" most likely reveals:

According to the story, Mathilde Loisel is a woman who is not wealthy but wants to live like the rich even though she is not poor either. She is attracted to shiny and expensive things.

Please note that you did not provide any specific hint of any interaction between Mathilde and Madam Forestier, but i will give you a general overview and make use of deductions to help you arrive at the correct answer.

Because of her taste for shiny and expensive things, Mathilde goes to Madam Forestier to borrow her diamond necklace so that she can attend a night party with some rich folk. However, when the party is over, she finds out that the necklace is gone.

Now that you have gotten a little background information, we can make some deductions and eliminations to arrive at the most likely answer.

Cannot be option A because Mathilde gave no indication that the necklace was fake before she borrowed it for the party
Cannot be option B because Madame Forestier, though wealthy does not look down on Mathilde
Cannot be option C because it is an established fact that Madame Forestier is a rich woman.
