The narrator worried about having Robert over for dinner because she is embarrassed of her Chinese family.

Option C

Explanation:

Amy was hesitant to invite Robert for dinner because she knew her family traditions over dinner and didn’t want Robert to witness them showcasing their traditions over dinner, assuming that he might feel uncomfortable when that happens.

However she was uncomfortable till the feast got over because right from traditions till the food being served, Amy’s parents were revealing their Chinese identity to Robert, much to the dismay of Amy. However she is relieved of that stress when her mother tells her to be proud of her identity as a Chinese.
