Answer:

B. Victor's sense of isolation as he continues his work alone in his apartment.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein tells the story of a young scientist Victor Frankenstein and his zeal towards achieving the scientific power and access to reanimate life after death. And in his attempt, he brought forth a monster that he despised, leading to his own downfall and destruction.

The given passage is from Chapter 4 of the text where Victor narrates about his work in isolation. He began his nightly work of "collect[ing] bones from charnel-houses" and bringing them to his isolated apartment for his experiment. He describes the location of his apartment as one that is "at the top of the house, and separated from all the other apartments by a gallery and staircase". This gave him ample space and privacy to do his work without any complaints or prying eyes. And as such, he began his work on creating the monster who will haunt his life till his death.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
