If the attorney general had such a disposition that she quickly regained her natural imperturbability even when she lost her temper, she cannot be called trying, or informed, or belligerent (meaning quarrelsome) or inarticulate (meaning 'not clear in expression'). The most appropriate adjective to describe her is 'peaceable'. The use of the phrase 'even on those.... occasions' implies that such occasions were not common. So, the word 'infrequent' also fits in well in the sentence, So, B is the answer.

The Attorney General Was _______ Woman, and Even on Those_______
