B is the only correct choice as the choice A doesn't clearly mention if timamollo or candle wife are two different people or just one! Also, In choice A, a Pedi chief's bride seems to modify only the noun "candle wife" which is not correct.

C. When a timamollo, a Pedi chief's candle wife, arrives at the royal house, all the fires in the village are doused and re-lit directly from her candle.
D. When a timamollo or candle wife arrives at the royal house, all the fires in the village are doused and re-lit directly from the Pedi chief's bride.

Thank you!




C and E lead to an awkward meaning because of "Pedi chief's candle wife".
In D, "Pedi chief's bride" comes very late in the sentence to make the reference.
Between A and B, A has a more direct correct construction in "...candle wide, Pedi chief's bride".
Hence, A.
