his disappointment over his son's new form

his emotional attachment to his son

his double standards regarding his son

his indifference toward his son

The correct answer is A) his antagonistic feelings regarding his son.

The action that is shown by Mr. Samsa’s attitude towards his son is his antagonistic feelings regarding his son.

Mr. Samsa and his son Gregor do not have a good relationship. Mr. Samsa –his father- is anxious about George because he is not getting money to help the family. The sign that Mr. Samsa did when he saw George transformed into an insect is a demostration of his antagonistic feelings regarding his son.  “The Metamorphosis” is a novel written by Franz Kafka in 1915. It tells the story of a man that one day wakes up and discovered he is transformed into an insect.
