Answer 1

A. The man's attempt to run from the tiger leads the tiger to chase him.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is shown in the short story, as it says "The man turned again and began to run. The tiger's breathing grew louder behind him.", which tells how the man ran, causing the tiger to chase after the man. As for B., we don't know if the crew's decision will ultimately lead the man to start a whole new life since we don't have enough information. For C., we have no clue if the man is trying to find other people, and he initially made the tiger angry by running from it.
