I agree with @sam.
Everyone who visited the house is more appropriate.

According to rules of interrogative sentence how+sub+verb+object.

"How could she" is like saying something which is not to be done.

Where as "How she could" asking how she had done that.

Exactly @Tony.

However there can be a lot of answers but we need to select the one which is the most appropriate which is B.

"How could she" is like asking about the plan of killing the Wolf.

"How she could" is like "Wondering!" how she did it. And it totally fits in to it.

The answer B is correct.

@Vertika.

Won't it be "everyone who visited the house asked the young girl how she could kill the wolf single handed and without a weapon".

OR

"everyone visiting the house is asking the young girl how she could kill the wolf single handed and without a weapon"?

I don't think there is anything wrong with "How could she kill. ".
