Correct Answer
A. In the east where he prospered.

The answer "In the east where he prospered" is correct because in the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it is revealed that Jay Gatsby is buried in the West Egg, which is located on the eastern side of Long Island. Gatsby's burial in the east symbolizes his connection to the wealth and success he achieved during his time in New York City. It also represents the end of his extravagant lifestyle and the tragic downfall of his American Dream.
