In this context, when Tarzan says to Jane, "I am still a wild beast at heart," the most appropriate interpretation is:

C) He is ready to eliminate the threat to Jane's happiness.

This statement reflects his primal nature and protective instincts, suggesting that despite his efforts to adapt to human society and his love for Jane, there remains a deep, instinctual part of him that can act decisively to safeguard her.
