C Correct answer
Explanation

When Swati decides to visit her grandmother instead of attending the party, the most immediate and socially appropriate action would be to inform her friend. Calling to apologize shows consideration for her friend's feelings and the effort put into the party. Fighting with parents (B) contradicts the scenario where she 'decides to visit her grandmother and does not insist.'
