In the following passage from Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper," the narrator is describing the wallpaper in her room. Read the excerpt and answer the question that follows:

The paint and paper look as if a boys' school had used it. It is stripped off—the paper—in great patches all around the head of my bed, about as far as I can reach, and in a great place on the other side of the room low down. I never saw a worse paper in my life.
One of those sprawling flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin.
It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate, and provoke study, and when you follow the lame, uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly … plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard-of contradictions.
The color is repellant, almost revolting; a smouldering, unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight.
It is a dull yet lurid orange in some places, a sickly sulphur tint in others.
No wonder the children hated it! I should hate it myself if I had to live in this room long.

Consider the mood of the above setting and the narrator's reaction to the wallpaper. What type of conflict does this reveal?

A: Character vs. character
B: Character vs. nature
C: Character vs. self
