Answer:

I think it's A because the other answers don't make sense in the context of the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. Does not make sense

C. The Monkey's Paw is not a Comedy

D. There being a fire burning to heat in order to light a house does not give any hint of the story being set into the past
