In the lady, or the tiger, which sentence from the excerpt most strongly supports that the king is conceited?

a) “he was greatly given to self-communing, and when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done.”

b) “it was the duty and privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them.”

c) “as is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity.”

d) “this, of course, was an especially important occasion, and his majesty, as well as all the people, was greatly interested in the workings and development of this trial.”
