Answer 1

The correct option is B to reassure him.

Option B is correct as it rightly points out what the grandmother felt after she saw the frightful face of her grandson. She knew that her grandson required support. So, to reassure him that she was there and to make him feel comfortable, she picked her grandson up.
The other options are incorrect as they do not provide the correct answer.
