Correct Answer: it was quite all right
Solution : The second option is the correct answer.
The use of quite in this context is superfluous. The word quite means to a certain extent or not very. In this sentence, it is not necessary to emphasise the fact that the mother stated that it was natural for her to become upset due to her lower score.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Mother said that it was all right for her to get upset for scoring less."
