Which excerpt from "Flowers for Algernon" shows that Charlie starts to view himself differently as he becomes smarter?

C. I think it's a good thing about finding out how everybody laughs at me. I thought about it a lot. It's because I'm so du mb and I don't even know when I'm doing something du mb.

Explanation:

The short story "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes revolves around the story of Charlie Gordon, an autistic protagonist and the scientific 'cure' that helped him become smarter. The story delves into the themes of humanity, kindness and love as the means of judging people rather than on one's mental capabilities.

As the scientific experiment was done on him, Char lie began to realize the truths about how he had been treated before. He learned that his friends J oe and Frank had always been with him because they wanted to make fun of him, but now with his new persona, he knew the truth about the pranks and not just let it be. Moreover, he began to realize how everybody seems to laugh at him because he's du mb. But now, even though everybody still does that, he knows the reason which makes him smarter as they didn't know he knows.

This shows Charlie viewing himself differently as he becomes smarter.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
