In Totentanz,
"the skeleton corners the unfortunate Türmer, who quivers in cowardice, and is about to deliver a deathly blow when providence saves the Türmer just in time". The poem is about the skeletons of men and women who have died dance in the middle of the night. When their shrouds fall across the graveyard, the warder picks one up. When the dead try to go back into their tombs, the one whose shroud was taken stays awake. He seeks out the warder and seeks the warder's death unless he returns it.
Appealing to Fortunato’s ego, Montresor tells him that he doesn't need to help him. He could ask someone else.

The answer is A: request.
To request means to ask, usually, though not necessarily, in a polite way for something, commonly a favor with which one needs assistance or help.
Again, though it is not necessarily always the case, the action of requesting is often accompanied by humility and gratitude on the side of the person asking for something, and it is accompanied by satisfaction on the side of the one who is being asked.
