Explanation:

Disillusionment means disappointment when a belief/relationship fails to meet expectations. Option A shows positive anticipation, not disillusionment. Option B is a question about physical intimacy, not a statement of disappointment. Option C explicitly states Tom misses the idealized version of Frances from their letters, showing he is disillusioned with their current relationship. Option D is about privacy, not relationship disillusionment.

Answer:

C. "I miss the person from our letters,' I said, and left the tent." (Paragraph 67)
