Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
If Anna receives $100 from the auction, it implies that both bidders were willing to pay up to that amount, indicating they both had a high value for the teacup. In auctions, the final price often reflects the valuation of the second-highest bidder (plus a bid increment), so for the price to reach $100, both bidders must value it at least that much, suggesting they are both high-value bidders.
