(A) Turner feels stifled in the town but free in the open air of the beach.
When we look at the answer options we know that we need to take a closer look at how the author describes the setting of the beach and the town. The descriptions of the beach are all positive while the town is described as a "heavy stillness" - negative. This means we need answer options that look positively on the beach but negatively on the town. The only option that does this is option A. Also, In the passage it says, "He spread his arms wide" and "breathing hard and deep like something that was only just coming alive." These details tells us that Turner feels free at the beach. The opening up and being able to breath also demonstrates how stifled he felt in the town.
