Actually, the correct answer is supposed to be C, this is an emphatic stress, which simply means that the word that is stressed is the main focus of the sentence. From the question it says MY sister should come, which simply means I asked a question that implied that it wasn't my sister that was the main focus of my sentence. From your answer it simply means that I already said my sister may come and the other person I'm engaging in a dialogue with chose to completely ignore that fact and still ask if MY sister is coming... I don't know if my explanation is clear
