OK.
Sometimes they are biased against widows who have no children living with them in India.
They think they are not likely to return as they have no spouse and no child in their house in India.

In her case a positive factor is her work status. she could have written self as paying for the trip
but now that you have submitted the form, just leave it.

So, it is her luck as there is so much officer discretion , nothing can be said for sure.

a duration of 3 months may make them ask who will take care of her business for that long a period.
It would have been better if she could have mentioned a shorter period as she has to run a business.

Also, they may suspect pregnancy with her daughter in US as she is going alone for 3 m onths.

In future, please post queries before submitting the form so you can use the suggestions posted here.
