The correct answer is "a novella." A novella is a work of fiction that is longer than a short story but shorter than a full-length novel. "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka is considered a novella because of its length and narrative structure. It tells the story of Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect-like creature. The novella explores themes of alienation, identity, and the human condition.

Gregor does not quit his job because he is obligated to pay off his father's debt to the company. This implies that quitting his job would result in him being unable to fulfill this financial obligation.
