Answer:
B). To work hard and pay off his family’s debt.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" falls under the category of magical realism that proposes a realistic sight of the modern world with a dash of magical or supernatural elements in it. Gregor, the protagonist of the story is representative of the class struggle of the modern man. He works as a traveling salesman who is bound by the obligations of working hard and paying off his father's debts and his entire life is surrounded around these responsibilities before he turns into an insect. Thus, this was his biggest priority in the story before converting into a bug/insect. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
