Answer:
C. victim
Explanation:
Montresor has a long-standing issue with Fortunato. We don't have the foggiest idea what it is, on the grounds that we are never told. Montresor realizes that Fortunato is a wine expert, and entices him with an Amontillado - a sort of sherry wine. Montresor needs Fortunato to taste the wine to check whether it's genuine.
Montresor draws Fortunato into Montresor's family's tombs looking for the wine. The catacombs are profound underground. Once there, Montresor shackles Fortunato to the divider and continues to block Fortunato into that recessed territory.
