Douglas feels indifferent about his mother's death because he never got to know her

Explanation:

why? Its because we don't exactly know what happened and why he has the emotions he would have felt if a stranger died even at his mum's death. Its possible that he didn't really connect with her or know her, which we are not sure of, so its safe to go with the third option
