Solution

The correct option is D the strain of melancholy inherited by the sisters
The fourth sentence in the second paragraph says that the girls' father would have understood them and grieved with them. This means that they inherit this quality from their father. The third sentence states that she didn't have this quality in her blood. Hence, the "curse" here refers to the strain of melancholy inherited by the girls.
The other options are irrelevant and do not answer the question.
