Which excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi" best infers the value Della places on her hair?

"Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts."

"So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters."

"Down rippled the brown cascade. "Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand."

"'I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present.'"

    It would be "So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters."

    Explanation:

    I ADORE this story, so I like to look deeper into its meanings. So, the author described the hair as beautiful, kind of like a graceful flow of water, given with the hair's glorious shine.
