The correct answer is **C. It emphasizes that not being able to learn French will have a major impact on Frantz.**
The use of personification in the excerpt, where books are described as "old friends," highlights Frantz's emotional connection to them and underscores the importance of learning and education in his life. His realization that he must part with them evokes a sense of loss, suggesting that not being able to continue learning French will have a significant impact on him.
