Explanation:

"Dreaming in Cuban" is a novel by author Cristina García and it was published for the first time in 1992. The story relates the lives of a Cuban family, the del Pinos, from the moment the two main progenitors, Celia and Jorge del Pino, meet and start their family, to when most of the family gathers again, and all the events that happen in between, between the island of Cuba during the Revolution and the U.S.

In this particular two excerpt from the story, we see a woman, Pilar, who was referred to by her Cuban co-nationals as a witch, or brujita, and then in the second excerpt we hear about a woman who thinks that her hair is falling simply because of the mean stares from the baby. The two events, the woman being called a witch, and the correlation between a mean stare and the falling of the hair, shows that for Cubans witchcraft, and the supernatural, are very much present and part of their culture, and whatever cannot be explained in any other way, is attributed to the supernatural, including witchcraft. This is why the answer is C.
