Answers

a. He is coming to fire Gregor for being late.
Explanation:
At the beginning of Kafka´s novella, Gregor finds himself turned into a hideous bug. For that reason, he cannot go to work, which preoccupies him since he is the sole breadwinner in his house. As he is coming to terms with his new bodily condition, he hears the chief clerk from his office arriving in his house to see why is Gregor late to work, and, one can surmise, to fire him. When the clerk sees him turned into a bug, he leaves the house horrified, and the novella begins the series of unfortunate events that Kafka so soberly explores therein.

Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is a novella about a traveling salesman Gregor Samsa who found himself metamorphosed into an insect.
Gregor Samsa had to work as a traveling salesman to provide for his family of four, his father, mother, and sister. He had a monotonous life, working, sleeping and eating. He also finds no interest in his work but he knows he had to work for the family's survival. One day, he was changed into a bug which led to him unable to go for work. His family had to find ways to manage the finances. His family also neglected him, treating him more like a burden. Later, Gregor died of starvation and the family decides to move to another place.

D the lodgers attack him
In Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, the Gregor Samsa (protagonist) wakes up to realize he has turned into a cockroach-like vermin while he was sleeping.
In real life, Kafka had many jobs but was never a traveling salesman himself. His father, however, worked as one before meeting Franz mother. In the story, Gregor sister grows to despise him, which is not an accurate representation of his sisters' feelings for Kafka. However, the author's relationship with his over-demanding father shaped his whole life and literary work, which explains the low self-esteem the Gregor experiences throughout this short story.
Therefore, your best answer is A.
