    Correct Answer
    A. He was to weak to do anything
    Explanation
    The man realized he couldn't live by himself anymore because he was too weak to do anything. This suggests that his physical condition had deteriorated to the point where he was unable to take care of himself and perform daily tasks. This could be a result of a severe illness like cancer, which can cause weakness and debilitation. The other options, losing his house from bankruptcy, and cancer, do not directly explain why he couldn't live by himself anymore.
