Answer:
B). He wanted great personal glory.
Step-by-step explanation:
'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is characterized as the 'science fiction' which is chiefly inclined towards the exploration of scientific advances and the catastrophic consequences led by it. Victor Frankenstein is the protagonist of the fiction who is also acknowledged as 'modern Prometheus'. He gets obsessively involved in the creation of life that leads to the development of a monster.
As per the question, the strongest motivation for his creation is that he hoped to gain 'personal glory' from his discovery that would bring him fame and respect but his obsession with the discovery(becomes self-centered) leads it to destruction and tragedy instead. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
