Solution

The correct option is C mean well but act foolishly
Option A is the correct answer. The author states that her friends mean well for her but acted foolishly in publishing her manuscript which she deemed unfit for publication. They weren't wise enough to understand the sensitivity of the text, but were supportive enough to see their friend published. The statements of options B,C,D and E are incongruent with the tone of the poem and, thus, are incorrect.
