Hi,
I believe you are correct, the best answer is probably C, physical gestures.

Answer:
Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to thaw, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong, meaningful friendship beginning to form.
Walton functions as the conduit through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradoxical: one moment he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to stay the path courageously, regardless of danger; the next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.

QUIZ: Can You Guess the Fictional Character from a Bad One-Sentence Description?
Explanation:
Lady Macbeth influenced Macbeth's decision to murder Duncan by being manipulative and questioning Macbeth's status as a man. She claimed that she would have "plucked the boneless gums out of her nipple" if she had promised it to Macbeth. This prompts Macbeth to follow through with his promise when he said he would murder Duncan earlier.
She asks him if he would rather be a coward than seize an opportunity to achieve the "ornament" of life - the crown. Additionally, Lady Macbeth says that she cannot love a man who is not willing to have the integrity to do such a thing, this really persuades him as they do share a passionate bond throughout the play.
Hope I helped!
