In my opinion, the correct answer is C. "She used to weep if she saw a mouse / caught in a trap, if it were dead ... " In other words, the nun is so compassionate and kind-hearted that she couldn't bear the sight of any living being harmed. The other options describe her physical looks, commitment to her job, and assiduousness.
