In Nikolai Gogol's "The Nose," the story shifts from reality to fantasy when Major Kovalev discovers that his nose has left his face and is living a life of its own. This moment of realization and the subsequent bizarre events mark a clear departure from the real world into the realm of the fantastical.
Among the options you provided, the shift is most significant when Major Kovalev gets out of bed in the morning (option C). This is when he first notices that his nose is missing, leading to the surreal events that follow.
