Explanation:

To determine Grendel's characterization, analyze the excerpt: "I was filled with a wordless, obscurely murderous unrest." "Troubled" fits as unrest implies inner turmoil. "Fearful" (no fear shown), "sickly" (no illness), and "peaceful" (opposite of unrest) are incorrect.

Answer:

C. troubled
