Answer:

A. Fuming to mischievous.

Explanation:

The poem "Telephonic Conversation" by Wole Soyinka begins with the fuming conversation between a black man and the lady about the location and pricing of the house. The conversation moves from bristle to mischief as the speaker begins to inform her that he is black and how black his color is and when he asks her color "Are you dark or very light", "plain or milk chocolate. The poet uses a humorous, comic tone to depict sarcastic comments on racism and reflects the communication gap between two races.
