Muriel Spark’s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a rewriting of the Victorian novel :
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Villette is the proposed intertext because of the female school setting and questions of authority, belief and narration. But “is a rewriting” is a strong critical assertion, and I cannot securely distinguish it from possible Jane Eyre arguments without a source. Wuthering Heights and North and South are less obvious models. Flag this attribution for later verification.
