Select the correct answer.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is considered a precursor to science fiction. It is a story of an ambitious scientist named Frankenstein who creates a creature in his laboratory. What can you infer from the following excerpt?

How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavored to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Amazing! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

A. the passage expresses the grief of the newly created monster who cannot understand his surroundings.
B. the passage expresses his horror of the scientist when he looks upon the monster he has created.
C. the passage shows Frankenstein's eagerness to see how his creation behaves.
D. the passage shows Frankenstein is extremely pleased with his creation.​
