Concept:To deny a statement means to say that it is not true.
Explanation:Bridget denied something.
The thing she denied is "that she wasn't there."
So she said that the claim "she was not there" is false.
If that claim is false, then the opposite is true: she was there.
Therefore, she did not admit to being absent.
She insisted that she was present at the place.
Answer:C. She maintained she was there.
