Solution

The correct answer is Option C.

The complete text would be: Corky’s uncle didn’t want him to be an artist. He didn’t think he had any talent in that direction. He was always urging him to chuck Art and go into the jute business and start at the bottom and work his way up. Jute had apparently become a sort of obsession with him. And what Corky said was that, while he didn’t know what they did at the bottom of the jute business, instinct told him that it was something too beastly for words. Corky, moreover, believed in his future as an artist. Someday, he said, he was going to make it big.

The other options are not grammatically correct or don't fit the passage's context.
