Answer:

A. Children sometimes act out when they’re attempting to figure out who they are.

Explanation:

The short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson tells the story of a young boy Laurie who makes up the character of Charles as a reason for the problem in school. He makes up his alter ego Charles to justify the acts done in school and most probably, his actions in school.

The story tells Laurie who would always tell stories of his friend Charles doing this and that, hitting others, disobeying the teacher, getting punished, etc. The narrator, being the mother of Laurie, was not impressed with her child's schoolmate. So, she decided to find out Charles' mother in an attempt to find out more about hi, only to be told that there is no Charles in the kindergarten. This seems to suggest to the bigger picture that children act out when they are attempting to figure out their own identity.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
