Answer: Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The story "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" which has been written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, shows the five friends, who are experimenting on a water that can make these friends young again. This regaining of youth is to be tested on the four friends by the host and the doctor.

He tried it first, on a dried rose before doing it on them own, then they immediately asked for it to be given to them. He had called his old friends so that he will be able to test out his experiment on them, and they sure did help him.
