C Correct answer
Explanation

VIRAGO historically means a fierce, loud-voiced, or domineering woman, often used critically to mean shrew. 'Shrew' captures this meaning. 'Bacillus' is a type of bacteria, 'Chastity' means moral purity, and 'Wanton' means uncontrolled or immoral - only 'Shrew' fits the context of a difficult woman.
