Answer:
C. But Grete's words had made her mother quite worried, she stepped to one side, saw the enormous brown patch against the flowers of the wallpaper and before she even realized it was Gregor that she saw screamed: Oh God, oh God! Arms outstretched, she fell onto the couch as if she had given up everything and stayed there immobile.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's short story "The Metamorphosis" tells the story of how Gregor Samsa's transformation into bug changed/ruined not only his own life but that of his whole family. The story also revolves on the theme of acceptance and what's deemed acceptable or not in a society.
Gregor's transformation had not been literally seen by his mother though she knows he's changed into something. She also knows that this change renders him unable to go anywhere outside of the house. So, when she and Grete were moving the furniture around, she saw Gregor on the painting. She immediately fell down unconscious, showing her shock at her son's new identity. This scene shows her attitude regarding her son's changed image/body.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
