Answer:
D. His body is dead, but his spirit lives on and may be watching.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Chapters 25-27 of Treasure Island, Jim mentions O'Brien several times and describes him as a "bad lot" who was "as wicked as they come." Jim reveals that O'Brien was one of the mutineers who had taken over the ship, and had played a significant role in the attempted murder of Jim and his friends. Jim also expresses his fear and hatred towards O'Brien, calling him a "murderous villain" who had no qualms about killing innocent people for his own gain. However, in Chapter 27, Jim learns from Captain Smollett that O'Brien had died during the battle with the loyal crew members, and he expresses a sense of relief and satisfaction that justice had been served.
