C Correct answer
Explanation

Bother means to trouble oneself about something or take the trouble to do it. The sentence means he told her not to worry about or take the trouble with the washing-up because he would handle it himself. Blunder (clumsy mistake), brag (boast), buy (purchase), and brood (think deeply) don't fit this context.
