The inference about Dr. Jekyll is best supported by evidence from the passage which is that he has lost confidence in his own judgement because of his involvement with Mr. Hyde. So, the right answer to this question is Option A.

Explanation:

This is in reference to a research named "What makes good people do bad things?" by Melissa Dittmann. This matter talks about how even good people in certain social situations can do what a bad person would do. So the article starts with Dr. Jekyll using a chemical to transform his evil and egoistic Dr. Hyde.

There is no actual chemical but what is meant by chemical is here is that a considerable amount of social pressure that can force a good person to become evil where there is loss of confidence in one's own judgement and thought.
