Correct Answer
C. She was beaten by someone left-handed and Tom's left hand is crippled.

Explanation
Atticus believes that Tom Robinson could not have beaten Mayella as she claims because Tom's left hand is crippled, making it physically impossible for him to have inflicted the injuries with his left hand. This suggests that someone who is left-handed must have been responsible for the assault. Atticus presents this argument to challenge Mayella's testimony and to prove that Tom is innocent of the crime he is accused of.
