Once I saw our landlord, whom I knew my parents feared, sitting in a treasure-room dressed in an ermine coat and a large gold crown. He sat on the floor counting his dollar bills. I played a trick on him. Going up to his building’s chimney, I blew a little puff of my super-breath into his fireplace, scattering his stacks of money so that he had to start counting all over again. I could more or less program my Supergirl dreams in those days by focusing on the object of my current obsession.

The best answer choice for the provided text is:

**A. The landlord is a greedy figure who creates problems for the narrator’s family.**

This choice aligns with the context of the landlord being someone whom the narrator's parents fear, suggesting he is a negative influence on their lives. The act of the landlord sitting in a treasure-room and counting dollar bills also implies greed. While the narrator does show mischievous behavior, the primary focus seems to be on the landlord's negative role in the family's life.
