BHe wishes there was another name he could use (my answer)
CHe doesn't want to see her reaction.
DHe is not supposed to be on the girls' floor of the dormitory.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is letter b. He wishes there was another name he could use . Gogol did tell the girl at the party, Kim, that his name is Nikhil because he wishes there was another name he could use. He wants to cover his real name from other people.

Answer:

b) He wishes there was another name he could use.

Explanation:

Driven by this inquiry of personality, Gogol gets his first taste of the intensity of renaming when he kisses Kim at a school party. Trusting that the name "Gogol" would debilitate a young lady's enthusiasm for him, Gogol presents himself as "Nikhil." As soon as he does as such, he feels like an alternate individual. Despite the fact that he is in one sense indistinguishable as both "Gogol" and "Nikhil," his open personality and self-observation change.
