The expression pressurized good breeding would mean that her attitude was not really that great. She would have not really followed the rules of what she was supposed to be doing, and that would include the irony of her kindness, and what she should have.

The correct answer is D.

In “Telephone Conversation,”  Wole Soyinka uses the expression  “pressurized good breeding” to suggest that the landlady is trying to hide her racial prejudice.

When she hears that the man she is talking to is black, she is silent for a moment, trying to look for the right words so as not to sound racist, despite clearly being so.
