Answer: D) Her independence.

Explanation: In the given excerpt, we can see Jane involved in a religious conversation about hell, in this conversation we can see revealed her independence, because even though she knows the Bible, and what it teaches about hell, she interprets it in a very unique and independent way, we can see that when she is asked what she must do to avoid going to hell and she answers ""I must keep in good health, and not die."
