Answer:
C. A novel manuscript
Read Explanation:
Miss Prism confused the baby with a manuscript, which caused her to place the baby in a handbag instead of the pram.
She explains that twenty-eight years ago, while working as a governess, she had been carrying both a baby (Jack) and a three-volume novel she had written. In a moment of absentmindedness, she placed the manuscript in the pram and the baby in a black leather handbag, which she then accidentally left at the cloakroom of Victoria Station.
This hilarious mix-up is the key to Jack’s true identity, ultimately revealing that he is Lady Bracknell’s nephew, Algernon’s older brother, and of respectable birth—allowing him to finally marry Gwendolen.
