Explanation:

The word "nonchalant" is an adjective. Looking at the context of the sentence "Feeling a bit nonchalant (14), she strolled past the stalls, despite being in a new place", the action of "strolling" (walking in a relaxed way) gives a clue. Also, the fact that she is in a new place but still has a certain demeanor. "Nonchalant" means showing a casual lack of concern.

D. Casual, relaxed, and unconcerned
