Which work is authored by Franz Kafka?

The work authored by Franz Kafka is "The Metamorphosis." This novella, published in 1915, is a seminal piece in modern literature and is often interpreted as an exploration of alienation and existential anxiety. In the story, the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, wakes up one morning to find that he has transformed into a giant insect, which serves as a powerful metaphor for feelings of isolation and the struggles against societal expectations.

The other choices are works by different authors: "A Good Man is Hard to Find" was written by Flannery O'Connor, "The Tell-Tale Heart" is a famous short story by Edgar Allan Poe, and "Everything That Rises Must Converge" is authored by Flannery O'Connor as well. Each of these works reflects its author’s unique voice and themes, but "The Metamorphosis" distinctly belongs to Kafka and is characterized by his distinctive approach to existential themes.
