Answer:

I'm leaning towards D.

Explanation:

In the story, we're aware that what the narrator has done to the old man is causing illusions and fear is manipulating how he sees and hears things. For example, the heart beating under the floor boards was only heard by the narrator. The police didn't hear it. It's all in his head but yet he still tries to contradict the fact that he is insane.
