Solution
The answer is D: That she loves Heathcliff more than anything.
Explanation:
A. That she despises Hindley - While Catherine may have negative feelings towards Hindley, this is not the revelation she makes to Nelly after Heathcliff runs away.
B. That she is too good for Heathcliff - Catherine does express concerns about social status and her relationship with Heathcliff, but this is not the specific revelation to Nelly.
C. That she deeply loves Edgar - Catherine does have feelings for Edgar Linton and eventually marries him, but her confession to Nelly is about her deep love for Heathcliff.
D. That she loves Heathcliff more than anything - This is the correct answer. Catherine confides in Nelly that despite her engagement to Edgar, her love for Heathcliff is profound and transcendent. This is a central theme in "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, highlighting the complex and intense relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff.
