Razor · Answer

This must be from Anne Frank's diary, I have that book and recognized the second name. In the story, Mrs. Van Daan isn't the best person to be around, might be a little entitled and/or selfish. But, that should only relate to her and her family, I have yet to see if she actually improves or not.

The word fatalistic is relating to or characteristic of the belief that all events are predetermined and therefore inevitable. - Google

So I'd say your best answer is D or A. I'm loosely saying D as we don't have a lot of information regarding the fact if Mrs. Van Daan actually thinks they'll die. And I'm also putting A on the table because it seems to be the most reasonable.
