Answer:

C. neutral

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "shack" would probably mean negative if his uncle lived in the city. However, living in a shack can be common in the countryside because people in this area earn less income than those living in the city. Their life is simpler, thus, living in a shack is not a surprise at all. Furthermore, it is not something to be proud of. So, this makes it neutral rather than positive or negative.
