Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The passage shows that the arrival of the “white man of God” is eagerly talked about by everyone—old, young, and even pagans, indicating excitement, reverence, and high regard. They are curious and even expect him to resemble Christ (“observe his beard…”), which reflects admiration and reverential expectation, not hostility or indifference.

This attitude is best described as awe, meaning deep respect mixed with wonder and curiosity.
