Read the following sentences from "The Third Bank of the River."

Which of the following sentences is the best paraphrase of this excerpt?

A) My father always seemed to be somewhat sad and withdrawn.
B) As far as I knew, my father had always been a loyal family man.
C) Ever since he was a child, my father was both serious and subdued.
D) From childhood to adulthood, my father was very honest and open.
