Answer: d. “Alas! neither by day nor by night knew I the blessing of Rest any more!”

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Black Cat" is a horror story written by Edgar Allan Poe in which the protagonist is tormented by a black cat that he killed. In the option D we can see how tormented he is by the fact that he declares that cannot sleep during the day nor at night.
