A)she had eaten a high-protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, not a maidservant.

B)that she ate a high protein diet, so probably had been the daughter of a gentleman, and not a maidservant.

C)that she had eaten a high protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, and not a maidservant's.

D)she ate a high-protein diet, so was probably the daughter of a gentleman, and had not been a maidservant.

E)she had eaten a high-protein diet, thereby had probably been the daughter of a gentleman, not a maidservant's.
