Answer:
The correct answer is D. the Cabuliwallah
Explanation:
The Cabuliwallah, by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), is a story told through the eyes of a father about the connection between his little daughter, Mini, and Rhaman, a merchant ( the Cabuliwallah) who cares about children.
In the story, the Cabuliwallah is a portrait of a very simple and poor man who wears loose and solid clothes as well as a tall turban, so for the little girl, he looks gigantic. The Cabuliwallah works as a peddler in Calcuta, selling seasonal products. After an incident with a customer that ends with the customer being stabbed, the Cabuliwallah is sent to prison for eight years, which leaves him penniless to go back to his own daughter in Kabul.
The term flat would apply to the Cabuliwallah the sense of him being monotonous - It would then describe the monotony of his looks, the spending of time (idling) in jail, and the simplicity of his character - an uneducated, poor street-vendor but loving father.
