The correct answer is option D.
In the conclusion of "The Monkey's Paw," by W.W. Jacobs, Mrs White wishes to see her dead son. However, Mr White is afraid because his son has died a few days earlier and his body has been ruined by work machinery. When the door is knocked, Mrs White runs to see her dead son. After he hears his wife cry, Mr White goes out and sees the road empty.
