Explanation:

Liza's dialogue shows her transformation from a flower - seller to someone concerned about her identity and belongings (e.g., "Do my clothes belong to me or to Colonel Pickering?"). Her statements like "I sold flowers, I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else" also indicate growth in self - awareness. Higgins mainly gives instructions or makes comments, and there is no indication of Pickering or George (not in the text) contributing to the theme of transformation and growth as directly as Liza.

Answer:

A. Liza
