推断题。根据第四段中的“Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the1 890s，SO we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile”可知，到1 9世纪90年代，发自内心的微笑相对容易捕捉，所以我们必须从其他方面寻找维多利亚时代的人仍然不愿意微笑的原因，文章第五段对此做出了解释，第二句指出在真正的牙科医术诞生之前，人们口腔的卫生状况往往令人震惊，第三句指出在维多利亚时代，一口闪耀、健康、干净而又整齐的“珍珠般洁白的牙齿”是非常罕见的，D项“他们不健康的牙齿状况”是对这两句话的概括总结。故本题选D。原文并不能推出维多利亚人对社会的敏感性阻止了他们在拍照时微笑，排除A。B项符合事实逻辑，但文中并没有与“紧张”相关的信息，故排除。文中第三、四段虽分别提及“me daguerreotype photographic method”和“the Box Brownie and other portable cameras”，但并未提及维多利亚人对这些拍摄手段持何种态度，排除C。
