The author is declining to have his own body donated to research at the body farm because of his hatred of insects.

i believe the answer is: c. hatred of instects

in a body farm research, they would let your body rot on a designated area in order to see the effect it may give to the environment around it. People who fear insects usually could not stand the idea that their body would be consumed by insects in the ground even after they die.
