The correct answer is B. rejected withdrawn.

The girl is probably rejected because she doesn't speak with anyone in her class - she probably doesn't have any friends there but could if she could make an effort to talk to someone in her surroundings. Due to the fact that she has no friends, she becomes withdrawn (even more reserved and shy) which only makes it even more difficult for her to engage with her classmates.
