what does this excerpt from charles dickens's a christmas carol reveal about the dead man, who is identified as scrooge at the end of chapter 4?

"if he wanted to keep 'em after he was dead, a wicked old screw," pursued the woman, "why wasn't he natural in his lifetime? if he had been, he'd have had somebody to look after him when he was struck with death, instead of lying gasping out his last there, alone by himself."

a.
his cold and greedy attitude and behavior caused him to live a lonely life.
b.
even on his deathbed, he was obsessed with collecting material possessions.
c.
he should have married belle in his youth rather than pursuing material wealth.
d.
his dislike of human society eventually turned into a dislike for himself.
e.
he was harsh and judgmental in his treatment of the lower classes.
