Explanation:

In Chapters 4-5 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, when the shopkeeper ignores the Logan children to serve white customers first, Cassie refuses to accept this unfair treatment and speaks up. Her actions reflect her pride in her identity and her refusal to submit to racial inequality, not patience, disrespect for store rules in a general sense, or explosive anger.

Answer:

C. Proud, as she stands up against unequal treatment.
