Explanation:

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is novel of the Gothic genre that was written by Robert Louis Stevenson, and which was published in 1886.

Essentially, while in the beginning of the story the reader senses that Dr. Jekyll is almost proud of his ability as a scientist to generate changes and transformations in himself, giving birth to an alternate personality known as Mr. Hyde, and through which Jekyll is able to channel the true inner workings of his mind and heart, and which are not all as good as his original personality could portray before society, in the end, he becomes really scared of this alternate personality. This is shown as Dr. Jekyll increasingly warns his friend, Utterson about Mr. Hyde, and starts to show how fearful he has become of the lines that he has crossed. This is why the answer is C.
