Solution

The correct option is B the fair-haired lady
Though the sentence speaks of 2 people, it concludes with only one person's actions. The word 'she' leaves unclear which of the two people is being spoken of. Therefore, 'she' needs to be replaced with 'the fair- haired lady', which makes clear exactly who came out with a bag. Hence, the correct answer is B) The fair-haired lady.
