The correct answer is C. When the boy speaks to John, it shows that the boy is a bully and is antagonizing violence.

It is clear by the situation described in the excerpt: the boys mocks and hurts John, and then violently threatens him. Due to this situation, John, without even thinking, strikes him in self-defense as hard as he could, thus standing up for himself, even if out of survival instinct.
