I'd like to be able to go back in time and read Twain's mind, wouldn't you? We can't, of course, so we sometimes make the mistake of trying to think of Twain with our 21st century values instead of Twain's 19th century values. You would probably need to read many more of Twain's works to get close to understanding how he thought as he lived in HIS society then.
Here's a very good essay about all this:

Please read it. It doesn't take very long, but it should help you decide if C is correct or if it's one of the others.
