Answer:
A). He got drunk and consorted with a prostitute.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this excerpt from 'Hedda Gabler' by Henrik Ibsen, Barack says that he thinks people will eschew Lovborg because he got drunk and associated with a prostitute. As consorting with a prostitute is considered equivalent to an offense and therefore, Gabler pesters him for the previous night's proceedings that may leave him(Lovborg) in a soup. Thus, Gabler had a feeling that people would shun him. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
