The quotation from <em>The Black Cat</em> that best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his cruelty is <u>the third one</u>: <em>“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.”
</em>
Explanation:
By reading these lines we can understand how <u>the speaker in conscious about the wrong he has done.</u> He knew what he was doing and knew that was wrong and did it anyways. <u>He knew it was a sin</u>, and a big one.

This means that <em>he knew he deserved a punishment from God</em> that, even with His infinite mercy, wouldn't be able to forgive what he had done.
