Read this excerpt from Endgame by Samuel Beckett: Clov goes and stands under window left. Stiff, staggering walk. He looks up at window left. He turns and looks at window right. He goes and stands under window right. He looks up at window right. He turns and looks at window left. He goes out, comes back immediately with a small step-ladder, carries it over and sets it down under window left, gets up on it, draws back curtain. He gets down, takes six steps (for example) towards window right, goes back for ladder, carries it over and sets it down under window right, gets up on it, draws back curtain. He gets down, takes three steps towards window left, goes back for ladder, carries it over and sets it down under window left, gets up on it, looks out of window. Brief laugh. He gets down, takes one step towards window right, goes back for ladder, carries it over and sets it down under window right, gets up on it, looks out of window. Brief laugh.

The answer is C. The Theater of Absurd reflects the claim that human life is devoid of purpose. Clov is repeating his actions of moving ladders, walking between windows, etc, and receives no pleasure from them. His actions are devoid of purpose, and they symbolize humanity's lack of purpose.
