The correct answer, in my opinion, is C. <span>There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle.

At this point, we anticipate that he is going to do something bad to Doodle, even though the narrator softens this anticipation by telling us that it used to happen "at times". Also, the simile "much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction" tells us that the narrator will never break free from this regret.
