D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At the end of the story it is revealed that the necklace which Mathilde lost was not original and was worth only five hundred francs. Madame Forestier was stunned to realise that Mathilde has wasted ten years trying to pay the debts for a replacement necklace.

Detailed explanation-2: -They replaced the necklace by paying eighteen thousand francs, which his father had left him and borrowing the rest of the amount from usurers and money lenders. Then they changed their lodgings and rented an attic, got rid of the maid and Mme. Loisel did the housework herself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: I think this is from the lesson ‘The Necklace’ from Class 10. The necklace was a fake, and was only 500 pesos, but Mme Loisel thought it was original, and had to work a lot to buy a copy worth 36000 pesos. Therefore, the necklace was worth only 500 pesos.
