Answer:

C) I had done that to her.

Explanation:

In literature, the tone refers to the general attitude of a person or situation. In the excerpt, the speaker feels full of regret and guilt after he or she sees his or her mother suddenly transformed into an old woman. As a result, not even does the speaker blame the terrorists and the government, but he or she also feels responsible for his or her mother's physical state.
