The correct option should describe Sally's thoughts and feelings about finding the phone. The first option is about Anna's thoughts (not focused on Anna's in the passage), the second is about both Sally and Anna (but the passage has no Anna's thoughts/feelings shown), the fourth is making Sally the narrator (the passage's narration is third - person, not making Sally the narrator). So the correct option is the one describing Sally's thoughts and feelings about finding the phone.
