Explanation:

Ju lia Alvarez’s short story "Names Nombres," tells the story of her childhood when people used to mistake her name and call her by different names. Moving to New York from the Dominican Republic, her family encountered numerous instances of people mistaking their names a lot, which led to this piece of the short story.

In the story, Alvarez recounts how many people would mistake her for Ju liet, or even sometimes Ju les or Ju dith. And even her last name was called Alcatraz, leading Ju lia to really think about why it is that Americans find it hard to call them by their real names. But her ending statement "I laughed to myself, wondering which one I would go by" seems to infer that she finds it amusing. This statement shows that the many names that she had 'incurred' greatly amused her, even joking that she'd had to choose a name that she would go by when she become "well-known throughout the United States".

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
