He evidently took it for granted that I was on the side of the existing regime.
C
He looked younger, several years younger than when he had come in.
D

Explanation

The line “And it would be so easy to kill him. He deserves it. Or does he? No!” directly shows the narrator struggling between the urge to kill the captain and his doubts about doing so. That opposing thoughts reveal internal conflict. The other choices describe nervousness, the captain’s assumptions, or his appearance without showing the same clear struggle.
