Solution

The correct option is A condescending
"Give her orders: that's what she wants" - this statement at the beginning of the passage supports the conclusion that Higgins's speech is quite condescending. Apart from this, all the qualities that he thinks are lady-like also hint at condescension. Higgins's speech is definitely not didactic, instructive, explanatory or apathetic. Therefore, A is our answer.
