Answer: B) The lantern illuminates the old man's eye, which enrages the speaker.

Explanation: in "The Tell-Tale Heart", the narrator wants to kill the old man because he is terrified of his blue eye, so he starts to enter the old man's room every night, and lightly turning on a lantern, he verifies that he is sleeping. Until one night, he accidentally turns on the lantern violently and illuminates the old man's open eye, this enrages him and he kills him.
