Answer:

The correct answer is D. Montresor is being insincere.

Explanation:

Montresor has planned his revenge perfectly. He knows the perfect time and place to carry it out. He knows Fortunato well, they are 'friends'. He knows his faults, his weaknesses, his likes and dislikes. He knows him enough as to make references to his health. Fortunato also knows Montresor likes good food and good drink. So, he suggests going back several times just to get Fortunato to reassure him he is up for the challenge. It's almost a way to justify the murder to himself.
