"There must be something else,” said the perplexed gentleman. "There is something more, if I could find a name for it. God bless me, the man seems hardly human! Excerpt 2, from Chapter 8: "Ay, ay,” said the lawyer. "My fears incline to the same point. Evil, I fear, founded—evil was sure to come—of that connection.

The correct answer is D)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the events of Chapter 8 occurs, his fears seems to be finally justified. There is no other suspect for the death of Harry other than Hyde.
