Solution

The quotation that most effectively illustrates the claim that Dolly struggles between her desire for revenge and her love for Oblonsky is:

B"[Dolly] still continued to tell herself that she should leave [Oblonsky], but she was conscious that this was impossible; it was impossible because she could not get out of the habit of regarding him as her husband and loving him."

This quote clearly shows Dolly's internal conflict between wanting to leave her husband for his wrongdoings (desire for revenge) and her inability to stop loving him (her love for Oblonsky).
