Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C Her mother had gone too far in promoting her
To plug someone or something is the informal way to mention (a product, event, or establishment) publicly in order to promote it. The narrator thought that her mother had gone too far in promoting her by narrating this story from her childhood. Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options are neither mentioned nor implied by the passage. Hence these options are incorrect.
