Explanation:

The excerpt states Clara's mother shared a story of herself defying her father to ride a difficult, unbroken horse and getting thrown. This shows the mother took a daring risk as a young girl. No text supports anger at Clara, blame from Clara, or blame from the mother toward the boys.

A. Clara's mother was also daring as a young girl.
