read the passage from moby-d. ick. what is being symbolized in the passage?

from moby-d. ick

one morning shortly after breakfast, ahab, as was his wont, ascended the cabin gangway to the deck. there most sea captains usually walk at that hour, as country gentlemen, after the same meal, take a few turns in the garden.

soon his steady, ivory stride was heard, as to and fro he paced his old rounds, upon planks so familiar to his tread, that they were all over dented, like geological stones, with the peculiar mark of his walk. did you fixedly gaze, too, upon that ribbed and dented brow; there also, you would see still stranger footprints—the footprints of his one unsleeping, ever-pacing thought.

a.
this is a picture showing ahab to be much like a country gentleman.

b.
this shows captain ahab to be a thoughtful man with wide and varying interests.

c.
this symbolizes captain ahab’s yearning to return to land and be done with sailing.

d.
this shows captain ahab to be a brooding, broken man.
