Answer 1

The correct answer is C) internal conflict: Man versus self

Step-by-step explanation:

In an internal conflict or man versus self, the main conflict or problematic situation emerges as one of the characters experiences a struggle against own values, ideas, thoughts, actions, etc. This means the conflict is within the character rather than in an external factor. This conflict can be seen in the passage presented as the narrator explains"His hand had done it all his hand with s brain of its own with a conscience and a curiosity" that shows the character Montage is struggling against himself as he believes his hand is an independent entity he cannot control.
