Solution

The correct option is A perplexed
Option B: The word 'perplexed' means 'completely baffled or confused'. It is relevant to the given statement, as the words "till the end she had no idea who the culprit was" suggest the same. The person, Sheena, was confused by the story and hence had no idea who the culprit was. Hence B is correct.
Option A: 'Enlightened' means 'spiritually aware' or 'having gained greater knowledge'; there is no relation between the sentence and spiritual awareness. Also, had she been 'enlightened' by the story, she would have had an idea about the culprit.
Option C: 'Excited' refers to enthusiasm or being energetic. This has no relation to the sentence, hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Shocked' refers to surprise, it has no connection to the context of the sentence. The state of being shocked does not connect with 'she had no idea who the culprit was'. Hence D is also incorrect.
