The right answer is "A. The conflict continued even after Kafka reached adulthood".
Between November 10 and 19, 1919, Franz Kafka, dissatisfied with the cold paternal reception on the announcement of his engagement to Julie Wohryzek, wrote to his father a long letter with more than a hundred manuscript pages. In the letter, which was never sent to the original recipient, Kafka lays bare all his grief, which lasted from childhood to adulthood, in relation to the authoritarian father, whom he alternately calls "tyrant", "regent" , "king" and "God". In a virtuosic experience of self-analysis, in addition to a beautiful piece of literature, he shows how, in his view, the paternal yoke undermined his self-esteem, condemning him to a weak and frightened personality.
