javk · Answer

depends, what s the essay about? and what is she trying to do with it?

It is reflective, she is telling of her experience. It's not persuasive because she is not trying to get anyone to agree with her, its not bias because she is not offering an opinion, and I'm not sure regional is a type of essay. But for further support that the answer is D, this is the definition of reflective essay:
A reflective essay is a form of writing that examines and observes the progress of the writer's individual experience. While reflective essays explain and analyze the development of the writer, they also discuss future goals.
I read the essay last year, so I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the answer is reflective.
