Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "novelty" in the passage, we analyze the context. The narrator left home to seek something new, as indicated by "thirsted after novelty" and "hungered to know what lay outside the sphere of my experience". Option A is incorrect (familiar place contradicts the quest for newness). Option B is irrelevant (drinkable liquid has no relation). Option D (general truth) doesn't fit the context of seeking new experiences. Option C (new experience) aligns with the narrator's desire for something outside their existing experience.

Answer:

C. new experience
