Answer: D. The beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.
Frankenstein was obsessed with creating life at the beginning of the book. He considers this to be his lifelong dream, and he works constantly, depriving himself of rest and company, in order to achieve it. However, once he does so, he tells us that his dream vanished, and that he only felt disgust and horror. The fact that Frankenstein worked so hard for something only to hate it when he achieved it causes some empathy in the reader, and the sad situation makes his later behaviour more understandable.
