Explanation:

From the excerpt (partially visible, but the key line "his head, lighted a cigarette" and walking away context), option A matches the response of the gentleman in grey: he lit a cigarette and walked away from her. Other options (story at sea, asking about the day, sitting next to her) don't align with the visible text clues.

Answer:

A. He lit a cigarette and walked away from her.
