Explanation:

Aunt Rachel is often portrayed as an authentic character with her own voice shown through dialect and actions, which can draw readers' sympathy. Scarlett's situation of losing everything can also be sympathetic, but the description in option b focuses more on the positive character - traits revealed in the writing of Aunt Rachel. Option c about Scarlett's view on the Freedmen's Bureau is not a common reason for general sympathy.

Answer:

B. Aunt Rachel because she is written as an authentic and worthy person, seen through her dialect and actions.
