The McGill University student visited Houdini a second time because he: c. wanted to make a sketch.

Explanation:

Harry Houdini was a famous magician and illusionist. He visited McGill University to give a presentation to the students.

Jocelyn Gordon Whitehead and Samuel J. Smilovitz met Harry Houdini after the presentation. They decided to sketch Houdini. Jocelyn Gordon decided to challenge the strength of Houdini during the meeting. So he punched Houdini heavily in his stomach.

Houdini already suffered from aggravated appendicitis which was undetected. Hard punching on his stomach caused serious rupture in appendix which led him to death.
