I selected D because he appears that for the traveler to come back he must wait til he dies and sees him in heaven. I might be wrong but it seems like the logical answer. Hope I could help.

Answer: D.) But I am beginning now to fear that I must wait a lifetime.

In this sentence, the narrator shows that his faith in the traveller's return is decreasing. He states that he has been waiting for the traveller to come, however, he now feels that he will wait a lifetime. This means that he believes he will spend his whole life waiting because the traveller is never coming back.
