The correct answer is D.

The fact that Zanzinger "reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders" indicates he did not feel any remorse for his actions. A shrug of the shoulders is a sign of indifference. By shrugging his shoulders, Zanzinger indicates he does not seem to care that he killed poor Hattie Carroll.
