Answer
A
character vs. character
B
character vs. self
C
character vs. society
D
character vs. nature

Explanation

The disagreement is between Mrs. Van Daan and Mr. Van Daan: she demands that he answer whether she divides things fairly, while he tells her to forget it. Because the tension is between two characters, the conflict is character vs. character. It is not mainly an internal struggle, a conflict with society, or a struggle against nature.
