Answer:

c. e realizes that while his creature has made the promise to avoid man, the female creature has not, and could dislike the arrangements made before her creation and have her own personality and drive.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Frankenstein" is the book written by Mary Shelley that shows how Victor Frankenstein, by becoming obsessed with the possibilities that science offers, managed to create a living being from dead matter. However, Frankenstein's creation proves to be a real monster, in appearance, and when he is rejected by his creator and everyone around him, it demands that Frankenstein create a companion for him, a wife, to keep him company. Frankenstein creates a female creature, but then destroys it. He does this because he knows that creatures are capable of causing destruction, pain and suffering. Although the monster he created had promised it would avoid contact with humans, Frankenstein wasn't sure the female creature would do the same and for that reason, he decided not to risk it and destroy it.
