Answer:

A) He had driven a stagecoach.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given phrase is from the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. The story revolves around the life of Ethan Frome, a local and his "tragic life" of how he came to be. And by the phrase "Harmon Gow, who had driven the stage from Bettsbridge to Starkfield in pre-trolley days and knew the chronicle of all the families on his line", we can know that Harmon Gow had driven a stagecoach. He was also one of the oldest residents of the place, who is familiar with most of the residents of the town.
