Final answer:

Mr. Wopsle from Great Expectations becomes a theatrical actor, hence the right answer to the given question is B. Actor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The character Mr. Wopsle in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations eventually leaves his initial occupation as a church clerk and embarks on a new career as a theatrical actor. After moving to London, he adopts the stage name Mr. Waldengarver and engages in professional acting. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Actor.

Wopsle is a clerk at the village church, with a "Roman nose and a large shining bald forehead" (4.11), and, most importantly, a "deep voice which he was uncommonly proud of" (4.11). He loves the sound of his own voice—so much so that he eventually jets to pursue his love of theater in London.
