a. Fortunato likes the Montresor family motto.
b. Fortunato is forgetful.
c. Fortunato is jealous.
d. Fortunato does not respect Montresor or his family.

The Montresor family motto means “Nobody provokes me with impunity,” and the family coat of arms depicts a human foot crushing a serpent.

Correct option is A.

"Fortunato likes the Montresor family motto."

In looking at Fortunato's only other dialogue from this passage, "Good!", we know that he is not jealous. The exclamation point and simple dialogue tag, said, show that his exclamation, "Good!", is meant positively without any sarcasm.

This statement of his also supports the correct answer that Fortunato likes the Montresor family motto. The motto is fitting for the Montresor's plan. The motto "Nemo me immune laces sit" means 'No one can harm me unpunished'.

In the coat of arms, the human foot is punishing the snake who bit it by crushing it. In the story, Montresor feels that he has been horribly wronged by Fortunato and the entire plot is Montresor's revenge.
