Answer:

B) It indicates Wheatley's shame in her race.

Explanation:

The term "sable" is a synonym for black.

Although the speaker may not intend to suggest inferiority with their comment, it is clear they are somewhat impacted by others' opinions towards the black race.

This connotation shows how the speaker uses their words with a negative tone.
