• A. Stevenson
• B. Joyce
• C. Conrad
• D. Wells

Answer: (C)

Joseph Conrad wrote Lord Jim. Published around 1900, it follows a seafarer named Jim who faces the consequences of a moment of Flight and spends his life weighed down by guilt, seeking a chance at redemption. This novel is a quintessential example of Conrad’s focus on moral ambiguity, inner conflict, and the harsh realities of life at sea. The other authors listed are known for different works—Stevenson for adventurous tales like Treasure Island, Joyce for modernist novels such as Ulysses, and Wells for science fiction like The War of the Worlds—so they are not the authors of this book.
