C is WRONG. The word "single-handed" functions as an adverb and not an adjective because it pertains to how she "kill the wolf". So it must be in the adverb form "single-handedly".
Correction: single-handedly and without a weapon.
Correction: single-handedly and without a weapon.

Why is it not like "How could she kill the wolf", because they are asking a question which should be in the interrogative form?

@All.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with the sentence. "How could she kill the wolf" is grammatically correct. I had this checked with a couple of people and if at all there is an error in the sentence then it should've been in "single-handed and without a weapon" and not with "how could she kill the wolf".

It is an indirect speech.

Option A is somewhat inappropriate. Because "everyone visiting the house" doesn't seem well.
