Answer:

C. Gregor's sudden transformation into a glant Insect.

D. Grete's protectiveness toward her older brother.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'Kafkaesque' is derived from the last name of the author Franz Kafka and French suffix '-esque' which refers to something marked by absurd, ominous, and disorienting complexities.

In the novella 'The Metamorphosis,' Kafkaesque is depicted when Gregor was transformed into a giant insect. Such transformation is not only absurd but also ominous.

Another Kafkaesque presented in the novella is in Grete's caretaking attitude towards her older brother, Gregor. Though, this protectiveness itself sees a transformation in the novella.

Therefore, options C and D are correct.
