In Chapter XV, the narrative evokes strong feelings of sympathy among readers (A), while the heroine struggles to maintain a balance between her personal freedom and self-control (B). Hence, both these traits typical of sentimental novels are present. The heroine's mastering of passions (C) is not a primary focus here, making option D the correct choice.
