С. the stranger's request to sit on the basement steps
Explanation:
When the stranger asks to sit on the basement steps, the father feels uncomfortable and does not want the beggar's presence to be continued. This is because he does not trust what is happening and does not want to obtain negative results from this situation, for this reason, he states that "the visit is over" indicating that any visitor present at the site should leave and that he will not show any sympathy to anyone who dares refuse.
