    Correct Answer
    A. Himmelstoss
    Explanation
    During an attack, Paul finds Himmelstoss in a dugout, pretending to be wounded. This suggests that Himmelstoss, who was previously their strict and abusive training sergeant, is now trying to avoid the dangers of the front lines by feigning injury. This highlights the irony of Himmelstoss, who had previously shown no empathy or understanding for the soldiers, now resorting to deception to save himself. It also serves to further illustrate the harsh realities and dehumanizing effects of war.
