What provokes this response from Higgins?

"Of course I do, you little fool. Five minutes ago you were like a millstone round my neck. Now you're a tower of strength: a consort battleship. You and I and Pickering will be three old bachelors together instead of only two men and a silly girl."

Ah yes ok so it would be C. "Liza submits to his anger."

As we can see, "Of course I do, you little fool. Five minutes ago you were like a millstone round my neck. Now you're a tower of strength: a consort battleship. You and I and Pickering will be three old bachelors together instead of only two men and a silly girl."

The quote represents them getting a bit frustrated and gets a tad bit angry which provokes them. So it would be, Liza submits to his anger.

Hope this helps! (:
